does a used Prius have resale value?
« on: January 15, 2012, 12:23:51 pm »
This person has 2009 Prius and has 460,000 miles on it
He drives 600 miles a day and still has OEM batteries

Here we go. I took the prius v for a nice test drive, very impressed. The power mode made it feel good along with the added space. I believe I could get at least 45mpg on highway. I also took the 2011 for a test drive, and was also impressed. I know I said I would go to 500 but forgive me please. I just have to make up my mind which one I want. They offered me 5000 for my car with 460000. I owe 8885. The 2011 with bluetooth no nav sticker 26620, 25200 out the door rolling over 3885. Prius v was sticker 29200 out the door 29200. I am really hoping I could defeat my desires but it is hard. Anyway what ever decision I make I again appreciate all the support u guys have give. I will still be in the prius family just at the bottom of the barrel. Again thanks

How on earth does he log 605mi per DAY?  I couldn't load his posts, so I wasn't able to see why he drives so much.  Nuts!

$5000 for a car with over 700,000km?  That seems like a LOT of dough for a car that is pretty much worthless. The dealer is working hard to keep his business, imo...

Obviously, the dealer is over-allowing by $4999.

 The next question is. Do these make good buys as used vehicles? There are quite a few 2nd generation versions in the classifieds whether it be kijiji or autotrader.Do people realize they are not for them and just sell them a head of time or are they just plain troublesome ?
I chickened out last time and didn't buy one.

I think with most people they put their car up for sale because they get tried and WANT not need a new one
