If the cost of petrol is starting to get you down, and you can shut out the criticisms of people like Jeremy Clarkson, (who will never like a car that can’t smoke up the tyres and sound like the apocalypse), then maybe now is the time to look at picking up a Hybrid. Or more specifically, a Toyota Prius.

The Prius is a petrol/electric hybrid and has been a favourite of Hollywood stars and rich people who want the rest of us to know that they truly care about the environment. But they are a frugal car on petrol and at the right price they do make a pretty good second-hand buy.

One of the biggest criticisms of the Prius has been the cost of buying one. The retail price on a new one is around $50k which is a lot of money for a relatively small hatchback. However, Turners have a whole fleet of these cars for sale at very realistic prices. The New Zealand new 2008 – 2010 cars are based at Turners in Auckland and Christchurch, and auction estimates range from $11500 to $22500 depending on age and kilometres.

and don’t hesitate as another fleet of these is not likely to come up for auction any time soon.
