    //2014 Prius 2//
    Asking Price: $15,500
    I negotiated it down to price: $13,500
    CPO
    Mileage: 47,000
    Previous Owners: 2
    Carfax: Completely Clean
    *no backup camera

    //2015 Prius 2//
    Asking Price: $15,850
    *haven't tried negotiating
    CPO
    Mileage: 46,000
    Previous Owners: 4
    Carfax: Completely Clean
    *Backup Camera Included

    The backup camera is a big deal for me. With my financing, I'd only be paying $50 bucks a more per month to buy the 2015 which includes the backup camera that I really like, but don't feel it a necessity.

    4 owners on a 2015? How the hell? I would be careful with that one. Keep looking around.

    I'd negotiate the 2015 to $14,500. $1000 for one year newer seems fair. There is a thread here to add a backup camera from Amazon ~$100 + installation. So if you really wanted it, you can still do it.

    I have a backup camera. It's not really necessary but it's really nice to have. So I'd be will to take the 2015 for $1000 more but if they won't accept, I'm fine with the 2014.

    That's my first thought, too. I wouldn't want to be the 5th owner on a 3 year old car. Way too many single owner cars out there.

    My Prius is the first car that I've owned with a rear view camera. I never knew what I was missing before, but I won't be able to live without that feature in the future. Plus, the visibility in the Prius is terrible, so the camera really helps.
