So I've narrowed my search for a prius down to two cars, they Are both 2012 and have 46,000 miles, but the only difference between the two is one is a trim level 3 and is 15,900 OTD but it was used as a rental in Maryland, and the other one is a trim level 2 for 15,700 OTD but was a local personal owner, I don't really used nav that much and I have my smartphone when I need it, the only thing I like is that is has a better audio system, my main concern is how risky is it to get a used rental car,
For the record while the JBL or JBL/NAV systems (Level III) is only slightly better than the base system, it is still a crappy system. As for previous ownership, it's a given the rental was abused with minimal maintenance...the personally owned unit is still a maybe. Based "only" on the info given...buy the level II with 15,700 miles OTD after having it thoroughly checked out.
agree with frodo ^ stay away from the rental. pkg 3 ain't that special. plan on putting in new audio if you like music.
Do you think a 2012, 46k miles, trim2 with tinted windows, clean one owner carfax, day time lights, I think its blizzard pearl for $15,700 out the door price is a good deal?
agreed. seems reasonable, but all you can do is compare it to what all is out there. what's the best deal you can get on a new leftover '14 pkg 2?
Yep, do some homework. If your credit is good, you may be able to get a 2014 (maybe not the popular colors) for a good price with $0 down and 0% for 72 months. check those figures though, they may have changed!
