Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid Usados en Venta

Love that it is plug in hybrid, and I could just charge it in my home. Very cheap to operate and does not require gas unless you go for long drives. Love the big screen on the dash for navigation. Very convenient when you don't know the directions to your destination. Could use it on long as well as short drives because of the hybrid system.

We originally bought our used 2007 Toyota Prius in early 2008 when gas prices were reaching $4 a gallon here in Houston, TX, and there was a 200-person waiting list for a new Prius. Long story short, they wanted $32,000 for a new Prius or $27,000 for a used 2007 Prius with 30,000 miles on it already. After a few hours of negotiation, we settled at $21,500 for the 2007 model. With financing at 4% and everything else, we ended up paying it off early and put in a total of $23,400.

This plug-in variant of Toyota’s segment-defining Prius is similar in many ways to the conventional hybrid that inspired it. The Prius and Prius Prime share underpinnings in the form of Toyota’s new TNGA platform, a wacky design language, and snooze-worthy performance. The differences between the two cars are important, too. Namely, the Prime adds an EPA-rated 25 miles of all-electric driving range and a large tablet-inspired infotainment screen (in certain trim levels), and it sacrifices a meaningful share of the cargo space found in the regular Prius. The Chevrolet Volt more than doubles the Prius Prime’s electric driving range and is actually more fun to drive, but Toyota’s good-faith effort to improve the Prime’s driving dynamics in this newest generation has moved it up.
