Whew! Bought my son's 2004 Prius in 2006 for $14K. 34,000 miles on it with leather upgrade. Best deal ever at the BMW lot we have a long term relationship with. I bought my new Prius V the day of the earthquake and managed a Costco price at a non-Costco dealer. That is all I asked for but give me a BMW dealership over Toyota any day. I've never spent so much time buying a car.
Great observation about practicality; yet I'm old enough to remember when that was the least thing I expected from a car. I've hauled so much in my Prius. I especially like the tonnaeu cover, extra storage bins and rear seat flexibility.
