    Your 2007 Prius will give you many more years of great gas mileage and service!

    If you have plenty of money to waste and throw away on a 2013 'GOFORIT'

    THINK before you make a mistake that you'll regret later!!!

    The deal for PiP (with all the incentives) was so hard to ignore, I upgraded from 2006 Prius with 164k miles.

    My new commute is also ideal for PiP with plenty of short trips.

    I find myself with the same question. Do I trade in now or later?
    My car has depreciated to such a level that it is effecting the dealers usual profit margin which is usually applied to trade in deals. If I trade my car in later, the dealer will make less money but will be very keen on striking a deal to sell a new car never the less. I have decided to hang onto my car for another 35,000 miles and wait for technology to march on to such an extent that a new car will make more sense.
