A lot of people know that the next big generation of cars is right around the corner and don't want to spend big bucks on a gas guzzler, or even a hybrid.

There are some decent electric options available now, but if like me, you can't afford a new vehicle, you need other people to buy them first and sell them second hand or wait for them to come off lease.

My car is currently 9 years old and I'm absolutely hoping that it lasts long enough for me to be able to buy a decent second hand electric.
