    Hi all, new to the site. Given the choice between buying a 2013 Prius c three for $22828.91 out the door at 2.9% for 60 months or a 2014 Prius Three for $26953.59 out the door at 0% for 60 months, which do you think is the better value?

    Have never driven the c but know they are very different from the standard Prius. Maybe somebody who driven both or owns both will chime in?

    Thanks for all opinions.

    Do you have any children? More than one friend? Drive at freeway speeds mostly? Get the Liftback.

    Do you live in a the city, where parking and turning radius are a premium? No kids or large pets? Rarely road trip? The c was made for you.

    c is for city

    Get the plug in for 0% for 60 months and a selling price of $24,500 after the federeal rebate (+ any rebate your state might give). That's the best answer & value.

    Yes it is. That dealer who posts on this thread is selling them for 29 flat not including the 2k Toyota rebate. That's 27k.

    The 2013 will cost $2400 less than the 2014 or $40 a month at the interest rates you proposed. There are no significant updates on a 2014 as far as I know so it would make sense to go for the 2013.


    iPhone ?
