Today there are eco-friendly cars that are affordable. Many people think that economical, green cars are just too expensive and out of the question of ownership.
It used to be that cars that were friendly to the environment cost a pretty penny, because the technology was new and expensive for manufacturers to implement.
But things have changed …
Remember back to when the first VCR came out? When they first hit the market you could easily spend $ 1,200.00 on the new technology. When the end of their life came around, you could purchase a VCR for around 40 bucks!
Although cars are in a higher price bracket, this same concept is true with eco-friendly cars.
Let me explain further …
