New Car Help: Gas vs Hybrid vs Plug-in Hybrid

[DrJC]

PLEASE, get an extended warranty. Repairs on drivetrain of hybrids can be enormous. Once your factory warranty is over, you can be in hot water with repairs.

It's a good thing those extended warranties are FREE. You know, otherwise all that $ you saved on gas might get eaten up by warranty costs or repairs!🤑

I need a new car and I'm torn on which type of "fueled" vehicle to purchase. Electric is out for me. So that leaves three choices. Hybrids seem ok but I don't like the additional upfront cost. I'm very leery of the Plug-in hybrids because of my experiences with all types of batteries. I plan to keep this vehicle a long time and I don't want a dinosaur which I'm afraid gas may quickly become. Has anyone here gone through the pros and cons on that would be willing to share. I'm sure I'm not alone in this quandary. TIA
