    Hi All,
    New to this and two dealers two different offers. Looking for advice. Option 1: 2010 Prius III (blue tooth, upgraded stereo) with floor mats included, silver (not my first choice) exterior- $23,253, .9% financing

    Option 2: 2010 Prius II with after market adds by dealer (in showroom to show features they are trying to sell to people) including wood dash and navigation system, black exterior- $24,111, .9% financing

    Fair pricing? Wish we could afford a III or higher or 2011 but doesn't seem likely-- do you think too much to play for a 2010? We like the .9%.... is blue tooth anything special? Stereo thoughts? Wood paneling? Nav system? None of these things are pulling me in either direction but also don't want to be taken for a ride...

    Thanks SO much for your input.

    Assuming both are new leftover 2010's rather than used, you are usually better of with factory upgrades rather than dealer add ons. Remember they have engineers at the facorry and mechanics at the dealership, so I would suggest the Prius III. you don't really notice the color when you are sitting in it.......Enjoy your purchase either way.;)

    Thank you! Right- both new. I hear you and agree- and NOW- more confusion... we are thinking of a 2011 II with no upgrades at a better price than both aforementioned. I see you have this same car.... so I would guess you would suggest this choice too? thank you

    If you can get a 2011 for less, go for that one, you can add an aftermarket HU with Nav and BlueTooth for around a Grand, and have it all in a "newer" car for less money!
