Not most cars. Just a select few. Plenty of cars could be driven off the lot today for below MSRP. Stop scaring OP.

You think she is going to sell a 2008 Prius with nearly 150k miles for $6-7k?!


I am curious about this too. Not that I am shocked because the guy that recently repaired the hybrid battery on my 2004 Prius said the same thing… but I’m curious how to get $6k for it. I think there are listings on carguru but not sure if anyone is actually getting it.

I hear that the used car market has improved.

I drive my cars until the wheels fall off but that's not always the best thing because I've been stranded on the side of the road at the end of two car's lives when they were about as old as yours and past 150k miles.


16 years old.

Where are they less? You are lucky to find one and just pay MSRP.


2022 Ascents are definitely below MSRP. They are getting ready to release a slightly updated 2023 model. Touring (top) trim is over $3k below MSRP at the Subaru in Springfield. Its a great deal - I wish I wasn't so worried about CVT reliability or I would get one.


Where?!?!

My 2010 Prius is still going strong at 210k miles. I think it’ a going to get me two more years. Don’t give up yet.

They wanted thousands of dollars to 'order' one, then they were adding thousands over MSRP. Total scam. These dealerships are unethical. Toyota lost our business. We are going with another brand.


It’s the dealer, not the brand


It’s the opposite. Toyotas are impossible to get right now - especially Hybrid Highlander and Sienna. The hoops (still) you have to jump through are insane. Nope nope nope.

Repairs or maintenance? Big difference IMO. I have a 2004 and had to replace the clutch which was pricey but expected after 90k. It was good for me to 110k.
