    Had my 2001 Mitsu Mirage in the shop for an oil change/smog check when my mechanic told me it was "time to let this one go." Wouldn't pass emissions without about $3k worth of work. So I retired her with 210,000 on the odometer (I drove it off the lot new with 4 miles on it). My mech gave me the oil change for free as a parting gift.

    Ended up getting a 2010 Prius III w/ Nav package. 21k miles on it, clean record, $19k OTD and got the dealer to give me $1k for the trade-in.

    Still getting used to the new driving style, but managed to get 48 mpg out of my first tank (it filled up so quickly that I thought the pump had shut off prematurely). Doing about 85 miles a day over a wide variety of terrain.

    Loving the car so far.

    Congrats on the purchase. You will love putting miles on the Prius and passing the gas pump.
