    Hi All,

    It's been a couple years since we sold our 2013 Prius Five (liftback), without the advanced tech package and now that we had our first child, looking for a bit more space and considering purchasing a 2013 Prius v - Five with ATP. One of the things that really bugged me when I owned the standard 2013 liftback was the fact that we didn't take the ATP option. Not going to make that mistake again this second time around.

    Details:
    2013 Prius v - Five
    Advanced Technology Package
    19,xxx miles
    Asking price $21k
    Toyota CPO

    Do you think there's any further room to negotiate? Clearbook has it in the $18.6k range for private party with all the options listed above.

    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks Bisco, that was my target price but dealer won't budge. On a positive note, it is undergoing the CPO process, so I'll have the additional warranty/peace of mind from that.

    Why expect 10 mpg less? Just curious.

    The v is larger in cross section and is quite a bit less aerodynamic, so it will spend more energy moving air.
    The v is heavier than the liftback, so will spend more energy when accelerating. (some minor fraction of this can be recovered when decelerating)
    The v has lower (higher numerically) gearing than the liftback, so both the engine and the motors are often spinning faster.
    The wheels are a larger diameter, and the tires are wider, so they will have more rotational inertia, more friction with the road, and will be less aerodynamic than the stock wheels/tires on the liftback. (you can buy wide, heavy, sticky tires/wheels for the liftback, and your mileage will drop as well)

    Compared to my Gen 2, I only lost 7 MPG, but his Gen 3 gets better MPG than a Gen 2.

    Make a reasonable offer, say $19k - $19.5k based on your research and see what they counter at.

    Just a quick update.. Decided to pass on the vehicle mentioned above. Had more wear and tear than we expected for 19k miles and the dealer wouldn't budge on the $21k asking price (no haggle pricing). Thanks for all the input! Keeping me eyes open for the next deal!
