There's less of a carbon footprint with an older car.
I have a Prius and a Bus, so There!

True that.
But look at the bigger picture, and factor in the extra pollution from making the new car. |
and then shipping it, filling the boats with diesel, ect

Sounds like you are a dumb ten years old. 
Do you kill and eat people's pets for fun? |
It's a joke, Clara, and a popular one amongst people who like to eat meat.
And he's a dumb ten year old because he loves the roundel.......roll eyes, indeed. 
Crofty, how old is your Prius?
You have to replace those earth-unfriendly batteries at 6 or 7 years.
How much will that cost and where are the putting the used ones?

It's an '08 and I'm not worried about battery failure.
In the US, the entire hybrid system (which includes the hybrid battery pack) is warrantied for 8 years/100,000 miles.
If you are in a California-emission state, the hybrid battery pack in a 2004-2009 Prius is further covered under the CA emissions warranty for 10 years/150,000 miles. (But that is just the hybrid battery and certain emissions components, not the entire hybrid system...) Last I heard the upcoming 2010 Prius will have a longer warranty.
Oh, I'm in CA too.

I think most of us are checking this list to see if we pass or not. So far I am all good 'cus no one has mentioned louvered deck lids or HIDs.
