What I did below was find out how many years it would take to start earning money back on the Ford Escape Hybrid and the way I used this was by the substitution method of the Ford Escape Hybrid and the Ford Escape XLT. It will take about 6.34 years to pay off the Ford Escape Hybrid. So it be better to buy the Ford Escape XLT because it would take less years to get money back and not many people keep a car for 6 years.
1453y + 30570 = 2352y + 24870
-1453y -1453y
30570 = 899y + 24870
-24870 - 24870
5,700 = 899y
899 899
6.34 = y
1453y + 30570 = 2352y + 24870
-1453y -1453y
30570 = 899y + 24870
-24870 - 24870
5,700 = 899y
899 899
6.34 = y
