    Hello, I am shopping around for my first Prius. I found a 2007 Touring model with 31,000 miles with clean title in very good condition for $9,500 and a 2010 for $ 10,200 also in good condition with 53,000 miles. The touring model has all of the extras like nav system, leather etc. The 2010 is trim 3 and the 2007 is package 6. Which one would guys buy? Thanks

    both seem over priced now that gas is cheap in most of the country..
    why are you willing to pay retail price for a 7 or 10 year old car with no warrantee?
    I always find a clean one from a private owner for much less..
    id avoid a 10 year old car with very low miles

    both sound like good cars. if you have maint. records for both, i would test drive and buy the one i liked better, after having it checked out at a dealer.
    the 2007 is getting closer to a new battery than the '10, most likely. assuming you're a carb state, 10/150 warranty.

    Sounds expensive. Have you given any thought to a 2016 for 20k? There is a lot of 2010s for sale for anywhere from 5500 to 8k here.
