Think I'm Going to Wait

I went 5.5 years and 118,185 miles with my 2004 before trading it in for a 2010. No trouble at all. It's documented in detail on my website if you're interested.
.

 

I am thrilled with my 2010 Prius. I paid a premium price in October. I believe the Toyota problem will affect resale value. I think the present is an excellent to bargain a good price. In the meantime I am getting 47 to 50 mpg.

 

Wanted to bump this one back up as new incentives should be out soon. Had 2 dealers tell me to expect something in my inboxes from them tomorrow. I'll be interested if anyone else has heard/seen anything.

 

I'm too, waiting on what Tuesday may bring!!!

 

I'm too new to post the link...but it's on Reuters

 

Here you go:

Sounds an awful lot like the Canadian February incentives that I got.

 

Thanks Crazy Canuck...and congrats on some great competition yesterday. We're hockey fans and that was one heck of a game!

As for our incentives, I just hope they are nationwide, our region keeps getting the shaft. The supply out here has seriously outweighed the demand so we're keeping fingers crossed.

 

They going to announce this tomorrow???

 

The link stated March 2nd, that is tommorow. However, doesn't say anything about the Prius, but you never know..

 

God I hope they don't offer some really good incentives for the Prius.. all this talk of waiting.. and how it's not real smart to get it now.. and such may just go out the window

 

Grats River!

I think what I might do is RENT one just for like a day or two, and have fun with it.. hopefully that will help me "scratch my itch"

 

Jump on a Toyota or Honda when they have their incentives. Honda had one in Feb, I think Toyota is having one in March. Join AAA, and watch their internet discount prices in your area. They have the best deals I've seen. You want a dealer who has internet sales. They have the lowest prices.

 

I think you will be pleased with your decision. The down side will be limiting it to 36,000 miles in 3 years. Enjoy your new car.

 

My only problem with a lease is.. you will ALWAYS have a note.. after the lease you will typically do another lease.. so you will probably have a $300 to $400 note every month..

 

Yes but I really enjoy changing cars every few years....there I did it! Pugsy to page two!

 

Got the itch.. AGAIN... especially that the plug in is now on the horizon....

I called all the local rental car companies.. they got my name down to rent one.. gotta scratch it!!!

 

Read post #17. I bet that still holds true.

 

What's the depreciation like on the CRV? My son is looking at one.
