Yes, but it's an even better time to not buy a car.

You don't really need to get a hybrid, there are plenty of non hybrids that get almost as good gas mileage.

yup you're totally right (now), however 2010 prius comes out next month (which i've already put my deposit on) and its 40-55mpg which is way higher than any tiny compact car (non diesel) right now. 2010 honda insight came out this month doing about 42mpg(decent).

Original poster: if you can wait until 2011 the 4th generation prius will be available, it operates on battery cells for the first 55mi driven which uses zero gas therefore no emissions. In a circumstance like that i'd be filling up a tank of gas every 4 mos (based on my commute and current driving standards).

Around 25k iirc at base. What the dealers will order though is a different story.

to be sure its easier to get a better deal on a new car, what with all the breaks and incentives from desperate dealers, than to buy a used car.

that being said, if you owe more than your car is worth, i am not so sure a dealer will cover that just to move a new car. i could be wrong i suppose. kinda depends on *how much* and how old the car is. you drive a VW right? that's the bit that concerns me. VWs that are somewhat old but not very old aren't exactly the most desirable thing - maybe that doesnt matter to a dealer|

also: dont get a hybrid. unless you run a taxicab service you wont see a return on your premium, especially driving cross country

+1. Price of gas has to be like $12 a gallon to realize anything worth it. Unless you live in the city. Hence my recommendation to buy a diesel. Awesome no matter what.

lol, i am NOT buying another VW ever again! i absolutely love the way they drive and handle, but the mechanical/electrical problems are just out of hand.

i stopped by a Toyota dealership on my way home from work and it definitely seems like buying new is the way to go with all the dealer incentives. they're trying to get me into a 2009 Corolla for around $300/month but my trade-in value is really fucking me over considering i owe WAY more on the loan than what they'll give me for it... which means i need to rollover the difference into my new loan. not sure if i want to do that at this point. i guess we'll see.

if you have decent/good credit, you'll be fine. salesmen are desperate these days and are pulling more strings than usual to make a sale. i'd go for something brand new and japanese.

I bought a 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS fully loaded. The things my car has is amazing. With Gap insurance and a 7 year bumper to bumper warranty and tax, a little under $26,000.

It is a good time to buy a car if you have a good job.

P.S. i guess this is a good time to mention my new license plates
