:shock: Greetings - This is an excellent forum! I know next to nothing about hybrid technology, but I'm fast getting acquited, thanks to the excellent posts and replies herein. Here's my dilemma:
:?: First, I am debating between purchsing a 2001 Insight (5sp) with 88K miles versus a 2002 Golf TDI with 65K, both from dealerships, both one owner vehicles. What are some of the factors that have in the past swayed any of you in the direction of the Honda?
:?: Second, besides the obvious battery replacement costs, are there any other associated expenses that I ought to concommitantly figure on while budgeting for the battery? How much would the "whole chalupa" run, inclusive of labor at the dealer?
PS: I am little puzzled by the seeming incompetence/lack of care exhibited by the dealer, insofar as the Insight. What gives?
Thanx in advance
