    It's cooling off somewhat.

    Spare car, or are you wanting to replace it with something else?

    In my area the Toyota dealer lots are literally empty. It is still a sellers market. Just be sure you can get something to replace it if necessary.

    You'll perhaps want to put the wheel back on before you trade it in. ;)

    It's unreal...I bought a 2019 Volt a while back and didn't realize I guess what a good price I got it for (18,500) . There were a couple of things I wasn't crazy about (such as the deep lowered hatch area for one) and so I went online and got an immediate offer from Carvana for $22, 500 so I let them hold it, lol. Fortunately I hadn't sold the Prius yet, so I didn't have to pay that kind of premium to get another car. So it's a great time to sell a car....as long as you have an extra one and don't need to replace the one you sell.
