A couple years ago, I asked my mechanic about the cost of repairs on a hybrid, and he said they were no more expensive to repair and maintain than any other car from the same manufacturer (with the exception of the battery, which would probably cost more to replace than the transmission). If you have your own mechanic, you might want to consult with him and see if he's got experience with hybrids.
On the other hand, depending on what model you're after, getting a used one might not save you much money - in some areas a used Prius goes for more than the sticker price of a new one because they're in such short supply.
