At car dealers, 'certified pre-owned' is the new used -

Came across this article today, very interesting read!
Why the Toyota Prius is conquering the land of Genghis Khan - The Globe and Mail
Essentially, they are doing a lot of testing for us, exposing the cars in extreme cold/harsh environment. Battery is the main issue under this scenario.
However, more reasons to think if you are not living in the extremes of natural environment, your Prii will probably last a lot longer. With cheaper-than-you-think battery replacement cost, more confidence vote to keep the car longer.godzillaismad Jun 9, 2016 Prius, Hybrid, EV and Alt-Fuel News Read More Views: 2,255 Likes: 2 Replies: 5 -
