That included buying extra warranty time on the battery--just in case. Our Civic Hybrid was about $21,000 after taxes/fees. The Civic regular was only two or three grand less than the hybrid. I think the Prius that you're thinking of is the one with all the extras. We got the "base" model. Oh, and my husband is still getting 55-65 mpg depending on the day. What year and make was the Honda you got for $14,000? Did you buy it new or used? Knowing these things would make a comparison easier to make. Thanks! We paid $27,000 after taxes for our Prius.

It could get 1000 miles a gallon, but at 29,000.00 new, it still costs twice as much over 10 years, as my new Honda I paid 14,000. for and gets 37 mpg.
