    Need some help everyone. First time prius owner.

    I have a offer from a private party, for 2012 Prius II with 30000 for $17800 after negotiation.
    I checked the car and it looks to be in good shape with average wear/tear. Tires have 5K on it.
    This is in east Ohio.

    Is this a good deal? Should i go with this or get a new 2013?
    Dealers are not going below 22.8k here.

    I have never paid more than kbb (16.8k for very good) for any of my cars yet.
    So looking for some guidance.

    at that price, I say go new. The regular warranty is about to run out. You get 2ys maintenance with a new car. Even if you finance the car for 5 years and with a 5k difference in price, you are looking at about $69 per month difference.

    it's a pretty good price, but if i could afford to, i'd go new.
