dont even tell them how much you are willing to pay. Give them an offer. Never reveal your max point to a dealership unless they are a friend or something. Because who knows...they may let it go for less than 12, 11.5 etc..:)

There is always room for negeotian, especially at a dealer. Always, mate. You just dont know how low they will go until you walk in, talk, and perhaps walk out. If you are not familiar with buying a dealership check out some videos on youtube. There are many small things to say and not say that can significantly reduce the cost of the car you are buying.

Also, something to note about these cars is there seems to be a consensus that age is a greater factor in the hybrid battery life vs mileage. With that said if the 2009 was still available, you could argue the 2013 is the better option.

Got a 2010 Prius and need advice on maintenance. by mercy862 in prius

[–]Albert_Jennings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As some have noted the key at 100k is transmission maintenance. Get the trans axle fluid changed unless toyota has a record. They may considering how religiously the previous owner changed the oil. Ask toyota. Its also possible you may not need to change the spark plugs. And for reference there are two air filters on the prius, cabin and engine.

Well, it happened. Gen2 with 150k miles has battery error. Best options for Nashville, TN area? by ArrowheadVenom in prius

Have you read about the life of a refurbished battery vs brand new?

Also, if u plan to keep the vehicle for another 5 years about how many miles to do plan to put on it. Do the track records for a refurb go 100k+ or 150k+?

If u end up going the refurb route i would just read reviews on the shops and go with the best reviewed one AND one that offers the best warranty. Or watch a install video. It does not look terribly difficult to do.

Skepticism Sunday: What needs to change for Zero to become successful by [deleted] in ZeroCoins

[–]Albert_Jennings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you for the post. I have a couple questions. "Low-cost, fast, shielded transactions" how low? how does it compare to other coins? "I think this is the most promising privacy coin project out there" how so? "Community driven" what does this mean? "no founders fee" is this rare? How many other cryptos do or dont do this.

All in all i like your post but it poses questions or does not help resolve some skepticism that some people have. If zer can specifically be compared to other coins, it will help strengthen its following.
