I almost wish I was in the market for a vehicle. Where I live you see a lot of Gen2, Gen 3 Prius, but a Gen 1 is getting to be a rare sight. Kind of cool to be able to drive what is becoming a kind of unique vehicle. I'm sure you will sell it. Hope you don't regret doing so.
Thanks! We already miss its amazing turning radius--didn't realize how unique that was! It's a bittersweet parting for sure, but our family has grown so we had to bump up to a station wagon. (Sadly, not the Prius v although it was our runner up, which is where I really worry the regret will come in... )
Car is pending sale. So this is probably so long, PriusChat--thanks for all of the help and advice over the years, and I hope someday we'll be back with a new Prius!
