Is this a good deal on a 2010 Prius

Doesn't Sound Good to me. Why not sell your old car yourself and get a better deal or buy a new 2011 2.

 

what is the bluebook retail on the prius? carolyn just bought an eleven for 21+K but will they give you the same trade value?

 

Ask what they will give you for a New Prius. Could the difference be Only 1K?

Seems Like a No - Brain-er to me.

But Good Luck to you whatever you decide. Owning a Prius is the real win here :cheer2:

 

Actually? I'm going to go somewhat against the grain here and say that doesn't sound like too bad a deal, especially if you factor in that they are enticing you by offering more than your trade in is worth.

The real problem is "right now" in a lot of locations, with the soon to be arriving 2012's, you can get pretty good deals on remaining 2011's. Which makes the advantage gap, of buying a used 2010 vs. New 2011 much smaller.

I'd investigate how easily or the difference it would take to get into a new 2011. Given what I would guess might be a pretty small difference, in my opinion it's nice to have a vehicle inwhich you know the history from almost the very beginning, and have the warranty starting from day Zero.

Once the 2011's are gone, the 2012's arrive and in the upcoming year with the Plug In Prius, Prius c....I expect Prius prices to increase. Right now, I think is a good time to get a Prius.

I wouldn't necessarily abandon the deal you are looking at...but I would certainly investigate the cost and possibility of getting a new 2011 Prius.

PS. Just read your post: Winter coming in Wisconsin? 2012's to arrive shortly. If your local dealer won't budge on sticker price...try another dealer.

 

i agree with e.m., if they are selling below book and buying above, and it's the best deal you have found, it's a no brainer.

 

Basic due dilligence. Have you checked a Carfax? (Yes those that hate Carfax can tell me they don't catch everything) BUT I'd still want one run.

I'd also have it checked out at a independent Toyota dealership. It will cost you money BUT if they uncover anything it could save you a LOT of money and pain.

If the selling Chevy/Buick dealership won't let you have it checked out? I'd be suspicious. Chevy/Buick doesn't even sell a hybrid. They can "say" they checked it out...but what do they know about HSD?
