    So I feel kinda awkward because folks here all wisely advised me to buy closer to my budget max and get a newer car. I even had myself convinced - I found a 2015 v Two with 60k miles for the same quoted price. Unfortunately (?) I drove the fully loaded one and decided I couldn't face my 35k+ miles a year without the fancy cruise control. Took it to the local Toyota dealer who had performed all the maintenance for the original owner, they couldn't find anything to complain about. Even printed out the entire service history for me.

    Anyway, the dealer that was selling it thought it was a base model, so we got it for $11111 plus tax and tag, 12.3k total. I may live to regret not buying newer, but... At this moment I'm pretty happy. Hybrid system warranty valid for another 18 months, but I'll hit 100k well before then.

    Wish me luck!
