    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to decide between a USED 2014 Prius plug-in & HOV CA sticker with ~18k miles and a USED 2013 Prius Four with ~12k miles. The Plug-in is ~$1000 more.

    KEEP IN MIND: No electric plug in at work (might have it in the future) or at home (assuming they are fairly expensive to install). I do live in San Diego and believe there are a lot in the area just not sure how often i would 'charge' up...

    Thank you!

    Correct, NOT salvaged & title on hand...

    What are the main differences between the plug-in and Four, not IV? Leather seats on Four, not IV, and...?
    Thank you!!

    the plug in is similar to a package Three, not III, but with heated seats and alloy wheels

    The Four, not IV, has the leather and better sound system.....

    But if those options aren't that important, you can buy a brand new 2015 Prius Two around the same price

    BTW you can use any regular 120v outlet to charge the PIP as long as nothing else is drawing lots of juice from it.

    i would decide based on plug in and sticker. if they don't mean that much to you, go with the lift back. that is a great price on the pip though.
