Value question on 2012 Prius

Let's see, a 70k mile 2012 for 12,300-I'm assuming sales tax and registration fees are extra or a new 2015 Prius 2 for 18.5k plus taxes and registration, tough decision unless you can't pony up for a new one. If you are set on the 2012, I'd push the dealer for a lower price.

 

Your final phrase, "It's been sitting on the lot for some time" would suggest to me that perhaps you could bargain them down in price.

It also gives me cause for a little concern because a Prius that sit's too long, might develop problems. Here's hoping it got test drives, or attention enough to keep the Hybrid Battery healthy. Does a Cadillac Dealers know enough about a Prius to know this?

I don't know what your budget may be, but now is a good time to get deals on outgoing Gen 3 Prius-new.- But they may still be out of your price range? Might not hurt to go look at some, as long as you are strong willed enough to say NO...once surrounded by salespeople.

This deal doesn't sound horrible. Probably OK, but neither does it strike me as "great". Given low gas prices, the fact that it's been sitting for a while, and it generally being a "buyers" market for Prius, I'd want a deal that I felt was great.
