I am looking at buying a certified pre-owned Prius and the 3 that are at the dealer right now are a 2006 Prius with Stability control with 32K MI. ($18K) a 2006 with 45K MI ($17K) and a 2005 with 61K MI ($15K). If anybody has any thoughts as to which may be a better purchase I would love to hear them. I and the cars are located in New England. Thanks.
Welcome to the site. Is the dealer providing carfax reports? Get the VIN & register them at http://www.toyotaownersonline.com/index.html so you can see service records. You should also ask the dealer about the packages (options) on the cars. 2006 notes VSC package 4-8 JBL 6 CD changer package 5-8 HID headlights & fog lights package 6-8 Nav package 7-8 Factory leather package 8 The 4 floor mats & cargo area mat are accessories so weren't part of the MSRP. Compared to the 2005 the '06 has a better MFD, software upgrades, and textured plastic interior. The prices seem to be fair. If there aren't any surprises & you like the packages you should be happy with either '06.
MFD = Multi Function Display - it is the screen that resides in the center of the dash and displays radio, climate control, fuel economy, and Navigation (if you have Nav) information.
