Should we swap our 2013 Gen 3 for a 2017 Gen 4 Prius Prime?

    We love Ogopogo, our Sea-glass green 2013 Prius II. It only has 118,000km on it, (73,000mi) has been lovingly maintained and hasn't had any issues. We were planning on keeping it for about another 5 years.

    A friend of ours has a 2017 Prius Prime that they don't like, the complex tech, the black interior. We may swap it, or buy it from them at a good price and sell our Gen 3, they're very motivated to do so and avoid the hassle of selling, and are a dear friend.

    It only has 40,000km on it (25,000mi) on it.

    We have a driveway with a 110 outlet, don't drive a lot and 80% of our trips are within the 25k electric only range, and we love the idea of not burning more carbon.

    Any advice before we venture further into this notion?

    I don't see a problem with it as long as they don't get 'seller's remorse' and feel that they were taken advantage of in the end.

    A friendship is more valuable than getting a good deal on a car.
