Thank you i will pass for sure on the black one.

 

What about the grey one for $6250 ? as my final offer? the lady would not go below $6500

 

no but first i would want to get the price down based on the miles... then do the carfax. the lady seemed honest that she took super good care of it.

$6500 seems a bit high for the miles on that one with 163,000 miles

 

oh ok i should check. there is a black 2004 prius with 174k miles for $6,000.. maybe i can talk down a bit.. is that a good deal if it has a clean title and mainted well?

i will look on autotrader too

 

The guy with the black 2004 prius with 177k miles said $5600 is doable..

is that something i should jump on if i run carfax and it looks ok? I also saw another 2004 prius with 148k miles for $5450 but i like the black one better based on color

Here is what he says:

TAX TIMES HERE INVEST WISELY ON FEW DAYS TAX DIRECT DEPOSITS ARE COMING
