The 2013 up ones are still $7,000 to 9,000 and up.
The whole idea is I pay cash, I don't have $10,000+ laying around any more.
Then I wouldn't want to spend 9,000+ to buy a car that based on its previous years models could lose up to 4,000 in value in as little as 3 years.
I have no interest in something poised to loses value that fast.
If I did stuff like that I would be broke like everyone else.

Plus if I need more range I have the ultimate range extender, a diesel truck and car trailer with generator.
