Thanks for the warm welcome.
The readers on autobloggreen hate me for promoting people like you. The environmental impact of someone driving a relatively efficient used car is miniscule compared to buying a new hybrid, but few can grasp that concept. The financial advantages over a lifetime are also immense, whether or not you compare it to buying a new or used hybrid. How many cars like yours could you buy for $24,000? You're recycling on a grand scale.
