    Im looking around for a used Prius, I want to trade my Camry in Im not enjoying the 18 MPG im getting on it, I found a 2013 Prius Persona with 23k miles for $14.5k at a local car lot. This seems way too good to be true, what should I look out for when I decide to go see it? Or should I just skip that car and look for one from an actual dealer and not a car lot? Thank you!

    If it has a clean title, have it checked out by your Toyota dealer, assuming it checks out, sounds like a good deal.
