    Since buying my 2012 Prius Four, I've taken it back to the dealer to get some blemishes touched up. Unfortunately, the vendor the outsourced the job to fixed it with darker paint than the original and it is noticeable. The dealer (I can't believe they're offering) is willing to let me trade the vehicle in for the full purchase price to basically exchange it with another, should I find something I like.

    I have three options, a 2013 Prius Three with a moonroof with 75k miles, a 2014 Prius C with a moonroof with 23k miles, and a 2016 Prius C with a moonroof with 11k miles. I really like the liftback, but I want the moonroof now that I've lived without one for a while. I'm going to post the link for them below, but I'd like some input.

    I paid $15,999 for the vehicle, so I'd be getting a return on all vehicles if I traded it for a different one. Let me know your thoughts on the mileage of the vehicles and the advantages/disadvantages of switching to a C if I decided to go with it.

    The 2013 has had three owners and part of a fleet, should that be a concern?
