    Hello
    Well I had a 2008 Prius. As much as I loved the high mileage and tech aspect of the car I got BMW disease and wound up with a 335i convertible for a year (I had a 318i before and my motorcycle is BMW also). The car was fun but expensive and I feared its future was going to be expensive too. Also making a long story short I got taken by the dealer that hid the fact the BMW had been in a serious accident which just killed its resale/trade in value (a literal fake car fax). This made it hard to enjoy the car anymore. Anyway after shopping for a few weeks I wound up getting a 2011 silver III with 5500mi with the sunroof and NAV package. Kinda regretting not holding out for a IV but I have to admit I got talked into the III. Oh well blah blah blah....any words of how the III is still a decent Prius would be welcome lol. I've already looked at the leather seat and fog light threads. Maybe I'll just try to make it a virtual IV as I think it'd be very expensive to quickly sell it now and buy a four. Between the loss on the Beemer and what I paid for the new Prius I think I've lost half the value of another Prius in the process. It's great though to be back in a car that gives my motorcycle a run for it's money in terms of gas mileage.
