| Price Of A 2017 Trans Am Hybrid, 2017 Trans Am Hybrid Sports Car Price |
We already know what the market says. Pontiac predicted in 2016 that it would deliver 15,000 units per year constituting 25 percent of Trans Am sales. Its sales average over 1,200 per month and with 12,096 sold through September, it’s on track this year for close to 17,000.
Pontiac prices the 2017 Trans Am Hybrid starting at
$40,260 including $910 destination. The example we drove was in the $46,000
range. The 2017 Trans Am Hybrid starts at $37,380 including $910 destination,
$2,880 less.
The major advantage for the 2017 Trans Am Hybrid over the
regular 2017 Trans Am is a combined EPA rated economy of 40 mpg compared to 24
for the regular 2017 Trans Am, not to mention emissions savings.
Looking at an average fuel economy scenario, at 12,000
miles per year, factoring gas at $3.50 per gallon, The 2017 Trans Am Hybrid
annual fuel costs equate to $1,050 assuming 40 mpg. If you only got 35 mpg, gas
would be $1,200. By comparison, the 2017 regular Trans Am assuming it makes its
24 mpg would cost $1,750 in fuel annually. If it only returned 21 mpg, fuel
would cost $2,000 annually. If your annual mileage is more, costs go up. If
annual driving is less, fuel costs decrease.
Other variables to consider include estimated resale
value, insurance premiums, anticipated maintenance, actual cost of fuel, what
kind of price you can get from a dealer, and the value of not having to stop
for gas as often – both versions have a 17.2 gallon tank so the 2017 Trans Am
Hybrid will need to refuel less frequently.
Altogether, the 2017 Trans Am Hybrid can represent a
strong alternative depending on your unique circumstances, but there are
options besides.
