Unless you really make a killing on selling parts, it looks like these broken hybrids weren't the greatest purchase, economically speaking. After all, you have 4 broken eco cars, and none of them are drivable.

For the cash you've spent dragging these four wrecks home, you could buy a truly perfect Metro/Swift/Firefly like the one MetroMPG drives. And, for the cash it would take to get any of your ecocars drivable, you come close to buying a decent used Insight.

But hey, if you like to tinker with broken stuff...I guess buying these wrecks wasn't that bad of an idea.
