    Hey all. I’m new. Please forgive if this wrong place to post. But I’m posting an I’m new here with some info and ???s.

    I am looking for a Prius. 4th gen premium sound $350 a month. I don’t have money down right now. Is this possible? I need to be around $450 or less per month for car and insurance.

    I have an issue with fitting. The console. Most cars suck. I need to be able to spread my legs a bit. 2nd gen and 4th gen I think I fit ok. 3rd gen is like I’m boxed in. No room.

    but what I want is the legroom of second and 4th gen. But premium sound and nav etc. but I only can do maybe $350 a month for the car. I need full coverage insurance being it’ll be financed.

    right now I have a 2019 Chevy bolt ev. Premier. Like it. Premium sound. Sub. Small but nice to have. Great screen. Etc etc. but I can’t charge at home. Apartment. So want to replace it with a Prius.

    Second gen is ok. Except no Bluetooth. No premium sound or anything. Speed screen in 4th gen much better. 2nd gen old as heck. But whatever car I get I get warranty for it.

    with second gen. I’m looking at over 100k mile. Base model. So can I upgrade the cd to a touchscreen kenwood or something for CarPlay and nav etc? I’ve heard yes.

    not sure if a second gen would be ok being their old. I can get one now 171k miles for $6k but base model. So I’d need to immediately put in a touch screen for my iPhone. And then save for speaker. But I’d rather have prem sound already and stuff.

    I just don’t think I can find anything for $350 a month. 4th gen prem sound. I don’t even know what trim prem sound starts at. For 4th gen. 2016-2022. I don’t care long as $350 or less a month.

    I’d much rather have 4th gen. But maybe with the right specs and upgrades and cost a second gen could work? I test drove second gen and it’s not bad.
