    We have both in our rental fleet, and even tho I really like our 2008 with all its bells & whistles I think you made the right choice going with the 2010. Mainly because of the warranty and slightly better fuel economy.

    The 2010 was the right move. And Barcelona Red is a great choice, we love our red model IV.

    I actually got a final price of $22,517, included carpeted floor mats and wheel locks. No other charges other than tax and DMV, inspection, tire tax etc. This is for the 2010 Prius II, red and dark gray interior. I am happy with my decision and cant wait to get my new car, although I still miss my 2006 seaside pearl

    Oh good, no document fee. That's what I hated about buying a new car.

    I have to say I was very impressed with the dealership in Oakdale. The salesman was very low key and no BS. He quoted less than MSRP right away and we mutually came to an agreeable price. Based on what edumunds and KBB and autotrader say, I did well.

    If I could trade every 2 years for $3,000 and start over with new warranty, tires, etc. that would be a 2 sec. decision.
