Are you looking to buy a vehicle that will help you avoid today's high gas prices? A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle might be the answer. These are hybrid vehicles that drive like a regular hybrid but have a rechargeable battery that lets you drive a short distance on all-electric power. Frequently charging the battery at home can significantly reduce your gasoline use. The issue many shoppers encounter, however, is price. A new plug-in hybrid is typically a lot more expensive than a regular hybrid. That's where buying a used plug-in hybrid comes into play.
To help people considering a used plug-in hybrid, the car experts at Edmunds have identified five models across different vehicle categories that are among the best used plug-in hybrids you can buy. They're all less than 8 years old, and many will have less than 50,000 miles. Pricing will vary depending on vehicle condition, but we've estimated what you can expect to pay at nationwide retailers such as CarMax and Carvana.
