5. I just don't drive enough to warrant a hybrid anymore

I never really did. I bought it because my niece needed a car, so I gave her my '06 Scion xB that I drove for 14 years. That was in 2020 and she's still driving it!

But right now, I am broke, broke, broke. I bought the hybrid because it was on the lot, it was a good price and it was the only one that wasn't black, white, gray or silver. I LIKE COLOR! So it's paid for and is worth almost as much as I paid for it 6 years ago. But I have to pay my brother back the $$ he loaned me to move. Whatever I end up getting, I should be able to put $8 to $10K in the bank.
