'13 with 60,000m or '11 with 25,000m

Hi everyone, I have the option of buying a 2013 with 60,000 miles or 2011 with 25,000 miles. Both are the same price. Which one would you choose and why, assuming both are equal in other ways?

 

Hi all thanks so much for taking the time to reply. @PriiusCamper we wont be keeping it in the garage, and my wife will be mostly driving it 30mins each way to work mon-fri - but i get what you are saying, that would make a nice collectors car.

I am going to see them and test drive this afternoon, so I really appreciate the help. I'll let you know what i am choosing, but sounds like the 2013 is in the lead.

 

Had a look at the cars yesterday, and took the 2013 for a test drive. Also look at some other Hybrids. Decided on the 2013 Prius, based on our research, and the helpful comments here. We'll pick the car up this evening hopefully!

Im excited, and nervous, I know a lot of expensive things can go wrong. I'll keep reading the forums to better understand how to take care of it so that I can give it the best chance.

Thanks again for all your help, im sure you'll hear more from me

 

My only conundrum now is should I take out the car dealers (not toyota) extra warranty which includes battery?

 

They also want to sell me a 3 Year Hybrid Warranty for approx $1,000 USD, i have asked for the terms of this, but what are your initial thoughts please?

 

quick update. Got the Prius friday evening, and been driving around all weekend. Really like it, Im keeping it in eco mode 90% of the time, and the gas is going down very slowly.

Loving the car so far, my only slight issue is 1 cup holder for the entire front and back! Doesnt seem right, i have had a little check for pull out cup holders but so far no luck, a very minor issue i know. So far very happy with the purchase. Thanks for all the help and advice.

 

I use one, and my family passenger will often have one, and then kids in the back might on road trips.. Most cars i have owned have two cup holders at the front, and one or two in the back. I went to get takeaway saturday, and was given two drinks, one went in the cup holder, and the passenger held the other. I will try the ones ion the door, the seem kind of small and a little hard to put a cup in there. Like i say, just a minor issue.

 

Thanks for the tip, I drive it with all those off, but i meant on the dash screen it indicates when in eco / ev mode, and keeping the revs down and keeping it in eco mode automatically - is that the correct way? I havent tried driving it in only eco / ev or pwr modes yet.

I was excited about the cupholders, so checked, and my model doesnt have the another in the arm rest, just a big area to put things, which could be used for drinks with tight lids. The doors wont even take a regular water bottle from the shop, i'd have to buy the smallest bottles to fit in there. I looked at a video, and some models have the pull down back seats cup holders, but not mine.

What do people put in the tray below the gear stick?
