Used Toyota Prius for Sale

While I always found the idea of hybrid cars interesting, I was never truly passionate about them until purchasing this Prius. Not only is the car sleek and serves its purpose comfortably, but the gas mileage it can achieve is phenomenal. On a cross-country move with my husband and two cats, we made literally half the amount of stops for gas that we had to make previously with a different car, and the stops we DID make took less money to fill-up. That's not to mention how nice it was to have a comfortable front seat to sit in with plenty of room for boxes, bags, and two large cat pens all to fit wonderfully. As a "fun-sized" person, the fact that the driver's seat can adjust to suit my height needs makes me love this car more than any I have previously owned.

We bought a 2005 generation 2 Toyota Prius used in 2009. It had only 50k miles on it and had been well taken care of by an elderly couple who used it as a winter car in Arizona when they would come down as snow birds. We needed something more fuel efficient than our large SUV's we had. It has been a great car, with little to no issues and only minor maintenance. We have driven it across country and frequently take it on long road trips due to gas mileage performance. The vehicle is great for big city driving due to it's great performance in tight spaces....It has been a life saver in parking garages in the Seattle Metro area. The car also handles very well in the snow when we travel up to the mountains, with it's low center of gravity and heavy battery basin, the traction is great. The car has 120k on it now and we anticipate it going to double that in our ownership of the vehicle. For the price we paid 14k I can not think of a better deal on a longer lasting vehicle than what we got with the Prius. We have recommending this vehicle to many friends and some have even ended up buying their own. Newer models though, which makes us think it's time for his and her Prius in the driveway.

The Toyota 2011 plug-in Prius is an incredible car. Its buttery-soft leather interior makes it a pleasure for long-distance travel and its interior is roomy enough to accommodate luggage and four adults. The back seats fold down individually or together so, when it's just my husband and me, we're able to fit as lot into what appears to be a small space. The car has a small footprint, but has held a pair of 6'8" elephant tusks along with several paintings acquired at auction, with my husband driving and me in the back seat. The sound system is phenomenal, and the Sirius XM satellite radio package that comes with it has made me forget what traditional radio is like - no more commercials for me! This makes it nice for road trips because we're not stuck listening to DVDs or forced to look for new stations constantly as we travel from one area to another - we simply leave it on the satellite channel of our choice, even in mountainous regions. Electronic cars and hybrids receive a bad rep for being slow and for having no power, but our Prius holds its own in any traffic situation. It helps that my husband is a former race car driver, perhaps, but our quiet, easy-handling vehicle rides comfortably and zips along the highway keeping up with the current traffic flow. The mileage is incredible - we get at least 55 miles per gallon in the mountains, and often average closer to 65 MPG on long trips. City driving can bring us closer to 80 MPG at times. It's great to plug the car in at night and to know that we won't have to refuel for at least three weeks. Our Prius accelerates to 65 MPH in one minute, tops, and it brakes quickly; it has to, in the New York tri-state area! I won't drive in Manhattan, but I'm comfortable in any other traffic in this area, and this wonderful car makes maneuvering a breeze. It's kept me out of a few scrapes by allowing me to swing around accidents that have happened right in front of me, so I'm grateful to Toyota for the safety features they've built in. The only things I really don't like are lack of heated and cooled seats, and lack of dual climate control. Otherwise, this beats the Mercedes I used to have hands-down!
