Replying to: samiam_68 (Jun 06, 2007 8:16 am) 1. They wanted to have the first V6 hybrid on the market, which they achieved. 2. They also wanted to be the first to have three hybrids in their lineup, which they also achieved. 3. They had said all along that they could put the IMA system in "any car in our lineup" and they wanted to prove that. So the car accomplished some things. Being a big seller was not one of them. |

Considering the purchase of a 70k+ mile HAH - I know the battery is covered up to 80k miles....should I be concerned about buying a high mileage and expensive-to-repair vehicle? For almost $20k...

Replying to: wandl (Jun 24, 2007 2:08 pm) Why gamble? A $10K offer would be more like it. The owner knows that Honda discontinued production because the public saw no significant fuel savings and wouldn't buy them. The owner also knows about the possibly high costs of keeping this high mileage hybrid on the road. |

| For less money you could buy a brand new I4 Accord, and gas mileage is about the same. | |

Replying to: wandl (Jun 24, 2007 2:08 pm) The HAH will get far better performance than an Accord I4, and at the same time get better MPG than a V6 Accord. There are reports of mileage in the mid 30's in town, but you have to drive it like a hybrid, not like a sports car. 20K seems a bit steep if that is a 2005, a bit better if it is a 2006. Check the blue book numbers, and suggest to the dealer that you are willing to pay between trade-in value and private resale value. Another good avenue is to ask your bank how much they will finance - that will provide a benchmark price. Unlike the Toyota HSD, the Honda IMA will run without the electric motors functioning, but I think the batteries are required. I think the battery risk should require the dealer to take some $$ off the price. Also, the HAH is not being produced any more, which makes it less desirable. |
