Probably Paid Too Much...

pekoe1111 · 07-10-2008, 09:03 PM

Bought a Barcelona Red 2004 with 51K and all options, including Nav. and Bluetooth on EBay for $19K. What are others paying for 2004s?

In 2004 the red was Salsa Red - a darker red than they have now.

Are you in CA? If so, does it have HOV stickers?

who cares, you already bought it. just go out and enjoy the car.

Its a salsa red and a better looking color than the new red.

No. It's not salvage. He got a good deal considering that it's probably a 2004 package #8.

That's the one on EBay. Just flew from VT to NJ to pick it up! Drove 5.5 hours and averaged better than 50 MPG! Are the onboard computers to be believed?

How can I decipher the option package it has? VIN#? Love it! Fair price?

Um, well, given dealer trade-in is nearly $21K and used prius's are easily selling well above MSRP retail, I'd say you got a heck of a deal especially given the title is clean.

I ran a carfax on it for you and it was squeaky clean. Nice job!

pekoe1111 · 07-11-2008, 07:18 PM

Yeah - I ran a Carfax also before buying - one owner! Thanks for making feel like I didn't get taken for too much of a ride...We were going to buy the same car a couple of years ago and decided to opt for an AWD Outback. God, do I hate Subarus...

yeah you got a bargain especially considering the package. Bluetooth and Nav. Great job. I think there is a website or your local car dealer can tell you if it has any outstanding recall's. Great job, I'm gonna contact you when I decide to buy Prius # 2 for you to do the bidding. LOL
