I have an opportunity to by a hybrid car at a very good price, but is the maintanence expensive? are parts, labor expensive?

As far as I know, the Honda hybrids are reliable. You still have the maintenance of a gas engine that can't be neglected.......there are some complicated electronics but haven't heard of any problems.........the biggest ticket will be replacing batteries when they come due.......not a problem on a 2010 yet - how often does Honda say they last? How much to replace?

Master mechanics have to continuously take refresher courses for these vehicles. Alot of the times they will have to put the cars computer in service mode just to maintenance it which adds man hours. Maintenance and repairs are pricier then the older vehicles.

The engine parts would be most likely cheap but the electronic prats will be pricey and fixing it will take a special mechanic
