Yard report from Poughkeepsie, NY: Hudson Valley Hybrids runs about 134 vehicles, weighted toward hybrids and EVs. Dealer permit posted at the office window; checked against the state board and it is current, roughly 11 years on the books.
Lot address: 4563 Greenway Pkwy, Poughkeepsie, NY. Visitor parking: Front-lot customer stalls facing the office; overflow on the side street near Poughkeepsie lot gate.
- Doc fee: $349, printed on the buyer's order — not a surprise line at signing.
- Pre-purchase inspection allowed on their lift or off-site — no pushback.
- Titles: staff says about 90% of units have title in hand; they showed the folder when asked.
- Coverage: a 3-month/3,000-mile limited warranty.
Lane verdict: workable but negotiate. The metal is fine; the add-on sheet (etch, nitrogen, prep) is where they make their margin. Strike the soft add-ons and the deal pencils.
