#1931 of 1971 Cash for Clunkers by bodomo May 06, 2009 (10:04 am)
does Cash for Clunkers program apply to Toyota Prius?? I am trying to decide between 09 Prius at 0% financing (that is some savings!!) or to wait for 10 Prius. If I could get Cash for Clunkers for trading in my Toyota 4Runner, that would even be sweeter!

Replying to: roy2001 (May 04, 2009 12:37 pm) I have posted all of the engineering issues that I have dealt with on the Prius forum which are extensive. The bottom line is I bought the car for good gas mileage only. Since Toyota, Edmunds, the EPA, and many Prius bloggers deliberately lied about the true gas mileage for my 2007 Prius, I feel cheated. I had a German specs 1984 Honda Civic that did get 60 mpg. I bought it 2 years old with over 100,000 miles on it. I drove and punished it on the German autobahn for another 100,000 miles and sold it to a soldier in 1989. He fixed the severe salt damage and was still driving it when I visited him in 1995. There is no comparison to the superior engineering of the Civic in every respect. There are many cars that have been produced throughout the years that get great gas mileage, so why the hype about the Prius?   The real issue is that political hacks have touted the Prius as the savior of the world. The fact is, political hacks have very little knowledge about much of anything much less what will save the world. The pursuit of knowledge in a free world without political hacks is the real savior. Try it, you will like it.

Replying to: bodomo (May 06, 2009 10:04 am) Bodomo,   I am in the same boat as you. I feel it is still better to wait for the 2010s compared to the 0% for 50 month deal. Once the 2010s start rolling in, the resale value of the 2009 are going to take a deep dive. 2010s get better mileage and have rigid gas tank. So you can probably put a little acetone in the tank everytime you fill up and get 10-20% more mileage! . But I think maybe in another 2-3 yrs, Prius retrofits or conversions for adding lithiom ion batteries will be much cheaper than they currently are.

Replying to: bbtt (May 06, 2009 6:42 pm) Hello bbtt,   Is the quote $23676 for package#5 on base model? The invoice is $24470 according to Edmunds.com. So you are getting $794 below invoice. Is this right? Does the quote already have manufacturer rebate counted? Can you let me know the dealership name?   Thanks very much

Replying to: hottmusic (May 06, 2009 5:25 am) There is no way.   You signed the papers accepting the deal as it was and the original deal was not a scam or an error by either party. You would lose the sales tax you paid the first time and still have to pay sales tax and doc fees again on the resale. The car would be used and not qualify for the new car interest rate.
#1939 of 1971 Re: Cash for Clunkers [spidey126] by jaxs1 May 10, 2009 (10:00 am)
Replying to: spidey126 (May 07, 2009 4:27 pm) Resale value of the Prius will be affected more by the price of gasoline than by a restyled new version being released. If gas prices keep dropping, resale for all hybrids will plummet. If gas prices go back to the previous highs or go even higher, the resale will skyrocket regardless of the new model. People were paying top dollar for old Geo Metros last year that people couldn't give away the year before.
