    Hello all,
    I wanted to let you all know I sold my beautiful 2005 loaded Prius today with 179,000 miles for $8,500. The car looked and ran like new but it was time to replace it as it was 7 years old. The new owner is great guy, I told him about this site and hopefully he will join to learn more about his new car.

    I had a great time on here and learned a lot. I wish you all the best.
    I replaced my Prius with a 2012 Kia Optima SX in snow white pearl.

    Thanks a lot. I loved my Prius and it never, ever let me down. Alas, it was time to move on after 7 years of smiles. It felt odd seeing it drove off w/o me. I thought $8,500 was a roar price given the condition of the car.

    The Optima is a beautiful car and IMO looks best in white.

    Thanks for being a part of Prius community for so long. :)

    My neighbor got that exact same Optima SX in cobalt blue and it looks insanely awesome in that color, congrats for selling your loaded 179K 2005 for $8500, just a few months ago I bought a loaded 41K 2004 for $9500, at that price I had to settle with black, so now I've got 2 Prius and that's just fine as they just predicted $5/gallon fuel prices this summer.
