Purchase Green Cars and Saving Green Is Simple

By Alfred Renteria


You will find loads of used car choices when it comes to purchasing eco-friendly and saving funds at the same time! We all know how crucial both our wallets and handbags and our environment is, and there are many choices for used car customers who are in need of obtaining the most value for their money, while making sure that we are preserving our natural environment.

To start, getting a used car is the perfect way to minimize and recover what has already been manufactured and recycle. Instead of purchasing a new automobile, it is possible to reuse what has already been produced and on the road. When buying a used vehicle you are making a informed decision to preserve materials, conserve energy and keep from adding another new vehicle to the road.

Another way to go eco-friendly when it comes to purchasing a used motor vehicle is to select a hybrid. Combining two forces of energy in order to conserve fuel, hybrids perform off of both gasoline and electricity. Many hybrids on the road these days supplement their gas engines by charging a battery when breaking. Hybrids have more MPG or miles per gallon than many non-hybrids, and normally have nominal tailpipe emissions. So you not only save cash on gas, you are saving fuel whilst operating a car that has considerably lowered emissions. The following are a few examples of the popular hybrids on the road today:

Nissan Altima Hybrid

The Nissan Altima Hybrid is a 4-door, 5-passenger family sedan offering a 2.5 L QR25DE engine, CVT and electric motor/generator. The fuel efficiency for the Altima Hybrid is 35 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway. The Nissan Altima Hybrid offers sharp handling, large interior and the added fuel efficiency of a hybrid engine. Fantastic for families and fun to drive!

Toyota Prius Hybrid

The Toyota Prius Hybrid is a 4-door, 5 passenger family sedan boasting a 1.5-liter I4 hybrid engine that achieves 48-mpg in the city and 45-mpg on the highway. Wonderful for singles and families this vehicle has ample space for everyone along with the family dog. Saving and receiving more value for your money is what purchasing a used vehicle is all about. When buying a used car, you can save anywhere from 15 - 20%. To ensure the automobile you plan to buy has the most recent in green technology, it is best to look for vehicles that are no more than 1 - 2 years old.
