Crazy market, just sold my 2017 Toyota Prius Prime with 89.5k miles on the ODO to CarMax….

For $18,000. I thought they were going to chew me down and niggle away at the offer price- it wound up being the easiest sale I ever had. Just crazy, I only paid $19.5k for the car after all the fed/state rebates + $2500 in tax back in Feb.2018- it was a leftover and Toyota gave me a great deal, as the Prime’s were not moving- MSRP was just shy of $30k. I actually could have gotten it for $500 cheaper if I didn’t splurge for the body side molding and the illuminated sill plates. Absolutely astonished! Moving $15k into a 2022 AWD GT-Line in Ascot Green with the Sun-n-Sound package- flying into Chicago next Sat. to get it rather than pay the $5k markup they want within hundreds of miles of me (90 min north of NYC). Flight from Newark Intl to O’hare was $64, lolol

A couple of the other car buyers (Carvana, Vroom, AIGO) were all $1500-2k lower than CarMax.

Talk about an upgrade huh!

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your brand new Stinger! Yes, it’s going to be one heck of an upgrade to the Toyota Prius! I’m glad you found us.

Gary Lang Kia, I’ve been working with Jared and it’s been a great experience so far. They have a really good selection if you want a GT-Line with AWD- which is exactly what I want. With a performance chip/ECU the 2.5T should perform close to the stock 3.3TT without the MPG penalty- important to me, as I’ll prolly be doing close to 30k miles annually as my daily driver/work vehicle. I have a 2017 Honda Ridgeline that does part-time duty as well.
