    Today I am proud to say I traded in my loyal 2015 Acura RDX with 105k. Great car that only ever requires scheduled maintenance.

    I just purchased a 2022 Prius LE and all I can say is wow. It’s like a spaceship compared to my old Acura.
    So happy the the days of 20mpg are behind me with these crazy gas prices.

    Looking forward to putting some miles on it this weekend.

    Paid $23,500 plus TTL
    Also purchased extended warranty which bought my interest rate down as I have sub 600 credit score.

    35000 miles as it was a fleet car owned by a company in FL. It was CPO by the dealer I purchased from and is under warranty until 60k or 5 years.

    1-week update. I love the car. Getting great gas mileage, like 55 mpg, great for my side gig of delivering alcohol & cigarettes over the weekend. I love Apple Car play as it makes my life so much easier.
    The only thing I am missing is that it does not have the "wireless charging pad", not really a big deal.
    Oh, and the biggest thing is the lights don't come on automatically. All my previous cars going back to the early 2000s had this. Just going to remember to switch them on and off and not drive in the dark for 30 mins and not being aware the lights were not on :)

    The 2020 Prime limited I have has auto headlights. I prefer to use them manually and override what they do. You have the blind spot, parking assist, and sensors all around, etc, just like my limited, but the newer version 2.0 instead of P. The Prime le Gen 4 doesn’t have those. You also have a spare tire, my Prime doesn’t. You did well.

    Fleet=a rental car. Don't know why ppl think that's a bad thing. Many ppl still think hard acceleration is abusing a car. The belief systems ppl have astound me. Just FYI that was a rental. Not an issue. But thought I'd correct that misnomer about "fleet"
