    Hi Everyone:
    I recently bought a used 2007 Prius loaded with Package #2 for $21,000, is that a good deal? the previous owner bought her car at Aug, 2007, and I purchased at May 2008. She only put in 2300 miles on it. Everything still brand new. I hope I didn't pay too much, if does, it's ok. Thanks

    Great DEAL :D

    That sounds like a pretty good deal. That car was hardly driven at all. and the Prius holds their value. I already put 1360 on my car and it is only 30 days old, so if this person bought the car in the summer of 07 and it has almost been 1 year and they only have 2300 that car was sitting in someone's garage and not being driven,,

    Becasue she doesn't need another car, she has Audi as well, she just want to get rid of it. So it's not a bad deal.

    So she dumped the Prius and kept the AUDI??? Hmmm,,, well her loss is your gain. I would have dumped the AUDI before dumping the Prius..

    Actually, she really want to get rid of this Prius, because she doesn't even drive, she rides bicycle all the time. She is a home school teacher. And the funny thing is when I talked to her she said she hasn't driven her Audi for more than 10 days.

    So far I drive around 300 miles, I am getting 49.5 average. It's highway and city mix.

    that's life in a prius - gosh, your 49.5 is better than my average. where's your location? to clarify, if i drive highway, i can get 53. city, not so good, lead foot and impatience.
