My Car: 2008 Prius Package: #6 Touring Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | Found a Tampa Toyota dealer advertising on Craigslist. I know the Prius is very popular due to the current gas prices, but a $4995 "limited availability market adjustment"? (see picture #5 in their ad). Anyone else seeing this happen? Here's the ad: = + = NEW 2008 Toyota Prius for sale NOW! = + = |

My Car: 2008 Prius Package: #6 Touring Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | I got lucky to get a touring package 6 for the price of a mid-level package 6 at Courtesy Toyota in Brandon because I was willing to accept Silver Pine Mica though my first two choices were Seaside Pearl and Barcelona Red. I did not pay over MSRP but I bought mine the first week in April just before the shortage. This listing is evidence of the laws of supply and demand. |

My Car: 2008 Prius Package: #2 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | Newbie needs help ! Tuesday July 29, 2007 5:30 pm est I must sell my Prius and don't know how to price it - so I thought maybe you guys could offer advice? What better place to beg for help that on a site called PriusChat.com ?? It's a 2008 Prius Pkg-2 VSC red w/23K miles. No damage, well, couple paint nicks from rock chips, original tires are good, doesn't need anything but a bath. I'm a non smoker and don't eat in the car. It's had each recommended factory service promptly when due. I average 49 city 56 hwy mpg. I guess what I paid for it ($22,500) is not relavant (?) but the reason for the post today - I looked on-line and saw some dealerships selling used 2008 models like mine for $32,995.00. Can this be right ? If true then I've lost all sense of reality... and hope you guys will kick in with some good and fair pricing information for me. I need to try to sell it beginning now, basically, August 1st, 2008 and, hopefully, no later than September 1st, 2008. Thanks in advance for your sage advice ! AttaBoy (yes, another newbie. sorry!)
