Importing a hybrid vehicle in Trinidad

[PariaMan]

Was resding review on accord hybrid. The guy had 40000 miles. The computer tell.you when to change oil. He only had to change oil and filters twice.same parts as normal accord. No other problems. I buying one this year for sure

[DJ Q]

Honesty I was strongly set on the Prius... but I might just get this Accord instead...

[drchaos]

Still only questions not people with real direct hybrod problems.l beleive that as more and more hybrid are purchased Trinidad and world wide by the time the average user gets problem all will be well. Also no mvt and vat means 70000 discount plus much better mileage means money in the bank to dral with issues

The questions and no problems yet just goes to show how young this tech is. You will claim its not but this is the first time in history we have so many manufacturers making hybrids/electrics on such a large scale.

The better mileage saving not gonna mean alot of money as we gas prices still pretty low. Yes you can buy cheap and save alot of money BUT for me the inconvenience is a greater problem of have a "brick" sitting on your driveway for a long time (expertise to diagnose,parts and then expertise to install correctly). Buying from the big dealers with a warranty helps with this. If you decide to go by a foreign used/new dealer I would say you play ah play whe mark and counting your winnings before the draw.

Inside for info.

Again guys ...anyone knows a mechanic that can diagnise faults or troubleshoot a hybrid accord?

[PariaMan]

Hybrids tend in general to require less msintenance than conventional ICE cars. Yes there are some who will get problems but that will.be small. The honda accord hybrid for example has been arround for more than five years. The mazda 3 hybrid has the same detuned skyactiv engine of the regular 3 and hybrid components from the prius including battery .These prius batteries cannot even be given an.average life span because they are doing well after 10 + years.

I have a hilux and if the engine goes 45000. I really think that the
Average buyer willbe greatly satisifed and the very few who have problem no worse off than a kia or cruz or hilux with problems

The black accord cr7 hasnt arrived in trinidad, but i paid 29000us for it so far

[baby hulk]

These dont require any real special maintenance

[baby hulk]

Normal oil and filter change, air filter and so on, but the HV side doesnt require no maintenance as per the owners manual

[baby hulk]

I will purchase the workshop or maintenance manual and give you guys and up date

[baby hulk]

But for the price we are getting this vehicle its amazing the features this car is loaded with

[baby hulk]

A local toyota camry hybrid is 525k,and look at a comparison review between the accord and the camry the accord is superior

[baby hulk]

The local none hybrid accord (old shape) is 379k and 4gt the fuel economy the local accord misses out on many of the features of the hybrid accord

Who is your mechanic?

[Remark]

Great ... am bringing one in also ..2014 accord... just wanted to know if the competency exists out there should I have any issues...

[baby hulk]

I have no mechanic, i do my stuff myself, but i heard of R ramai servicing centre, they said they are certified in hybrid vehicle repair and maintenance

[baby hulk]

To government might soon be reintroducing taxes on all vehicles, so buy quick, and buy closer to new, hybrid and electric are the future,

Any warranties offered with the 2017 hybrid babyhulk?
Worst case scenario prices for repair of battery pack if it fails ?

[PariaMan]

Those fellars who buy before any increase will.be truly inside

Worst case scenario prices for repair of battery pack if it fails ?

One of the least likely things to fail.is the battery. Why select that above other components to worry about. Biggest problem right now.is to get the us. May have to face dealers who I feel taking to big a markup on.the hybrid

[baby hulk]

No warranty, its a risk im taking, this 2017 cr7 should cost me around 200k OTR, but picture the savings im getting importing this vehicle myself, a local honda civic is 270k, and a civic is in no class of this accord hybrid, ill buy the accord hybrid and save the 70k incase of problems, ill source and import my own parts

[baby hulk]

Also i cud by a toyota aqua for around 40k OTR if i run into probz wit d accord

[baby hulk]

The accord if it has to give problemz mite be after 5 yrs, by then our roads will be flooded with hybrids even inshan will have one
