    Hey Guys,

    I am looking at trading in my current vehicle, Honda 1998 CR-V, and get a 2012 Prius Two. I am currently 22 years old, and only have a credit history of about 15 months, my credit is great though (I got a credit card to build some credit, I use it as a "gas card.") I just wanted to see what prices, APR, and agreements that everyone else here settled on when getting their Prius. Mainly I am trying to look around $300-$350/month on the payment, if lower that is great, but I wanted to see if that is even realistic by seeing what others here are paying.

    Go for Prius C for first car, loaded at $25K you should get out for around $385 a month on lease. The way Prius C's are selling, you should be able to do a purchase at the end of the lease and make a profit on the residual, that is get more money for it on sale/trade then you owe on the residual.

    With possible 60 mpg and Toyota's free three year service, you should have very low operating costs.

    Great first car with super mileage and some style to it.
