Deermouse Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hello to you CMXNRG! About when do you expect your Energi? I'm curious about folks buying their Energis with respect to what they typically do with their current vehicles. Do most trade in the old one, hand it down to a family member, or just have an additional vehicle? In other words, are they completely replacing the old probably lower mpg vehicle with the highly efficient Energi? In my case, I'm retiring my truck to truck duty only when I (finally) get my Energi. What happens to your truck and Echo when the new baby comes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMXNRG Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hello Deermouse, Order date was Feb. 16. We plan on trading the Echo in on the purchase. It's currently my work commuter until we receive the Energi. The truck has been our travel vehicle we usually tote around a lot of gear on trips and a fishing boat from time to time I don't think that will change unless we get a roof rack carrier for some trips.

GadgetGirl Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I'm trading in my 2002 Buick Regal. I tend to drive my vehicles until they aren't in a condition where I would want to sell/give them to someone I know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhea Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Like GadgetGirl, we drive our vehicles as long as possible. We're trading in a 2003 Mazda6. We need a car we don't have to manually shift (clutch) and want reasonably green and very energy efficient. Also, keeping an eye out for GadgetGirl's vehicle delivery which will be ANY DAY NOW!?!?

Deermouse Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Looks like we are a bunch of thrifty folks, hanging onto vehicles for a good long time. My truck is a 96, and I plan to never buy another one - hoping once the Energi arrives and becomes my commuting vehicle that the low miles put on the truck will extend its life forever. Like CMXNRG notes, there are some things only a truck can do, so we need to hang onto it. Like Rhea, I'll be happy to switch from a manual transmission. The fun of shifting lost its appeal around 1999. I'd love to get my husband to trade in his 03 Element for an Energi, or at least a Cmax hybrid, but he thinks he can't fit his music gear in it. Looks like you have a fairly recent order CMX - here's hoping for a short wait and speedy delivery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
