    Hey everyone, some may not remember me but others might. I was on here back in 2008 when I had my 2008 Package 2. I sold that in July 2009 with 38k miles after getting a job closer to home and buying what i've always wanted, a convertible sports car. Well, problem after problem and the cost of premium at 18-20mpg led me to another Prius. My old one is under my name to the left

    Picked up a Barcelona Red 2011 with 5 miles with a 10/11 build date on Friday December 23, 2011. Advertised price was $20,727. I traded in my 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT with 47,700 miles for $11,500. I paid $17,900 for it with 6,000 miles on July 2009 and did some tasteful modifications like intake and lowering springs so in the end not a bad deal considering it had the horrible Mitsubishi black paint and other things that needed to be fixed.

    Old and the new

    welcome back!

    I see a set of springs, rear stabilizer and STB in your Barcelona Red near future.

    Welcome back, man. :)

    Nice choice! I agree with cyclopathic except he forgot the upsized-wheels.. I'd go 17s due to tire choice but 18s look pretty damn sweet on the GenIII. ;)

    Howdy! I don't remember your handle, but I remember your avatar with the pimp looking house. :)

    I traded in a 2 door also and came back to a Prius. Welcome back :)

    That sounds like a *really* good trade-in allowance, and the Prius price is excellent too. I'm jealous.
