First Car

Just to clarify, I was NOT offering my Prius for sale. I was just stating what I paid for it and the mileage when I bought it.

You are making the right choice by going for the '06. It's practically a new car, without the new car price. BUT, because you live in the south, run a carfax and have someone you trust inspect the car. There's no shortage of flood cars down there. (Even though the '06 models weren't as affected, it's still a good idea.)

Also I'll give you a heads up on some common courtesy guidelines for PriusChat (now new and improved).
-Watch the grammar and spelling. Most people could care less, but there is a vocal minority of grammar Gestapo. (I like to call them the American Heritage Party.)
-Don't go around calling someone a "pompous incorrect jerk". Just call them incorrect, patsparks has obviously never been to the south and doesn't know that "yall" is a fact of life. (I lived in FL and SC, so I would never call someone out for using yall.)

And because I feel the need to brag about my school, here we go. Celebration High School was ranked 317th out of 436 FL public high schools. That's right, 317th in FLORIDA. How do you like them apples? </sarcasm>
