Prius Prime - official prices paid thread

If someone needs a "cheap" PHEV - I'd suggest looking for a 2+ year old one, that is under $25k and you should be able to get the $4k used EV tax credit that just started. Needs to be from a dealer. Sweet spot would be $13,333 price to maximize the credit / cost, I believe.
You can find some high mileage Niros, Ioniqs, PPs Volts that fit the criteria. Otherwise there really aren't any deals currently, IMO.

 

Good idea! However, be aware of the income caps, etc...as well.

 

A two-year-old PHEV for $13k?? What?? The Kelly Blue Book trade-in value for my 2021 Prius Prime Limited is $36k.

 

Im looking at a few 2020 Prime Limited. $30K to $35K on Carvana. amazing people are paying that much. 2022's might drop once the Gen 5 Prime is available this June. We shall see.

 

i just read that used car prices have come down, maybe not prius?

 

Not yet and hopefully not until I trade in. Used Prius Primes also get a federal tax credit but not the new ones.

 

Yes, 2021 or older used PPs get $4K or 30% selling price qualify for max federal tax credit. They also have to be from dealer and less than $25k selling price. Based on recent cars.com query, those with greater than 100k miles would qualify. Used Clean Vehicle Credit | Internal Revenue Service

 

Yeah, for some desperate buyers, that's better than nothing. But, $25K for a 2021 or older PP with more than 100 kmiles on her. I just don't feel it is a bargain even with $4K off. My last 2021 PP Ltd with 8 miles on the odometer cost me a net ~$24K.

 

Things have changed. That kind of government subsidy and dealer discounts are gone.
