Thanks, everyone, for your helpful input in selling my Prius (listed elsewhere on this board as "Option lvl 7 in Sac/SFO for $26,900." The car did sell for the full asking price in two days on Auto Trader. By the way, the ext warr package really does cost $2,695 @ Roseville Toyota (where they have a waiting list of 200 names, they just told me). I'm referring to the Platinum (upgade from Gold package) plus zero deductible. I did get a discount due to my volunteer police chaplaincy work, paying $1,980 (I guess someone buying via the internet could get the same deal there). But the full Platinum zero deductible package really does retail for $2,695 at Roseville Toyota--probably cheaper elsewhere, as you have been saying. So I'm signing off this message board, content to drive a new Honda Civic after selling my Prius and getting my emergency family expenses paid off. Thanks again for your helpful dialogue.

Good for you. I was sad that I could not afford it, but good for you. I hope the causes of your sudden expenses work themselves out. Tim
Tim, Thanks for caring about my unexpected family expenses. Indeed things have worked out for our concerns--I just need to pay the associated bills! And, thank God, there was just enough. Martin
