Re: two to choice from which prius to get I would pick 2006. There are many tiny improvements for the mid-model refresh. The screen has higher resolution and interiors has soft material instead of hard plastic. If I understand it right, 2006 is also the Touring model.
Re: two to choice from which prius to get I will post the links to the two different cars in a minute they offer different options
Re: two to choice from which prius to get Personally, I would choose the 2005 because navigation and blue tooth are both pretty important to me, and the backup camera is not. The mileage on both is in the same basic high range, so I would pay the extra $100 for the bluetooth alone. But that's just my personal preference. hope this helps!
Re: two to choice from which prius to get here is the links 2006 is this one 2006 Toyota Prius 4dr Car near Henderson NV 89014 - Towbin Dodge 2005 is this 2005 TOYOTA PRIUS - NAVIGATION - BLUETOOTH - LOADED
The craigslist ad has been removed. The 2006 isn't a Touring model so I'm not sure where the "sport pkg" come from. Given that the 2005 isn't available, does that make your decision easier?
seller re-posted it and deleted the old one the 2005 05 toyota prius - no sales tax - nav - bluetooth
2006 should have bluetooth. It has bluetooth steering buttons. 2005 does not have tire pressure monitoring system. It only became available in 2006 model.
I bought the 2005 because the 2006 had a dent in the front and they were being rude at the dealership... I get my new Prius on Friday
Just so you know the 2006 at Towbin Dodge has navigation. Notice the MAP button on the lower right of the display. So, it has all the bells and whistles as in navigation, bluetooth, HID headlight, back up camera, and fog lights. I would choose the 2006 since there are improvements from the 2004-2005 model. No brainer. 2006!
Thanks for your reply, Let me tell you the story, I drove from my house to Towbin (36 miles) the guy on the phone told me he would start the paper work, I was a cash buyer all was good. I get there (with my 3 kids under 5 and wife) The guys says "the car has a small dent in the front" I say lets go check it out" he says "let me get the keys" comes back a 1/2 hour later and says "sorry the car just sold but I can show you...." I was so upset I just left... without saying anything.... NEVER AGAIN>>
Yikes, that really sucks. Sorry to hear that. The name Towbin Dodge rang a bell. They were on that TV show about car dealers. It is right on their website. They were sleezy people on there. I am glad you were able to find another Prius and handled well by them. Congrats on the Prius.
so now I am thinking about getting some stuff should I get 1. the shark fin or 2. the DICE or 3. the lockpick or 4. something else??
It depends on your priority. Exterior look or interior functionality. I would suggest getting used to the car first before modding. This would give you a better idea what you need most to customize to your liking.
