<prompt> Human: So Ive been considering dropping my money-sink 2003 Dodge Intrepid for a sleek sexy hybrid to take advantage of the improved gas mileage and general environment karma I can leech from the collective unconscious and was wondering if Im going to get really screwed or not. The dodge has been eating up my income for too long and every few months I have to drop another 500 or so on it which really ameliorates the benefits to owning a car.Right now Ive got one guy on the line offering a new 2012 civic hybrid for 22,903 off the lot. I dont mind slow pickup or anything like that, I just love the idea of 44city44highway. Ill save so much in gas alone I can get excited about it, and hondas appear to keep their value very well as they get on. If the batteries need to be replaced at 100,000 miles I can just sell prior to that and let someone else worry about it.But Im not sold on the value - I plan to take his number to another dealership and see if they can beat the price, but heres the thing - they are offering .9 financing this month for people with excellent credit! Which I just so happen to have 8My trade-in value is probably 500 at best its only worth scrapping to be honest, it cant pass inspection without major body work but I can put between 5,000-7,000 down... should I go for this, cost-be-damned? What does rpersonalfinance think of the civic hybrid?Edit: Wrong sell milesEdit x2: The Dodge Intrepid has 124k miles on it and I just had to replace the alternator, the engine is probably next. These cars arent known for surviving much longer then this.  <response>: I had a 2007 Hyundai Accent that regularly got 40 highway with conservative driving. If youre looking for fuel economy, hybrids arent your only option.
