14 years of waiting is finally over. I bought a used Prius yesterday. I also bought Lauren a tablecloth. 13 years ago I was deciding between buying a $24,000 Prius and a $14,000 Civic. The Honda won and has served in good stead for well over a decade. We purchased it the weekend after 9/11 because otherwise the terrorists would have won.
I only have one, well, make that two regrets. The first is that I didn’t make it to 300,000 miles. How many times in your life are you going to have a chance to put all 300,000 miles on a vehicle? The second is that we just sunk a fair amount of money into the Honda. Oh well. Anyone want a 13 year old vehicle with 296,000 miles on it?
I’m not exactly sure what is going on in this picture.
I am just thrilled that you bought a tiny camper for me. Thanks, Lloyd! Happy Prius Day to you! God bless us, every one!
Congratulations!
Woo hoo! That was a dream a long time in the making. Congratulations!
Yeah, talk about delayed gratification.
Seeing Lloyd with his iCar makes me happy. 🙂
Lloyd was so excited he didn’t even mention the haircut I got.
Thanks for not posting the Lloyd in speedo across the hood photo.
Um…
CONGRATULATIONS!! May you have many miles of happiness!!!
And it warms my heart so to see people’s dreams come to fruition.
Congrats. Wishing you 300,000 on this one to.
Wishing you 299,999 miles hehehehe
Congratulations Lloyd!! That’s awesome! I will need specs at some point. Maybe at our next BMN.
2011 Prius II with 42,000 miles on it. “Certified Used” which means it comes with a 12 Month 12,000 mile bumper to bumper warrantee from Toyota. They were asking $18,750, and we signed at $16,400. I didn’t trade in the Civic. I think it will be worth more to someone else that it was worth to them.
I was actually looking at cars in the $13,000 price range, but they are all over 100,000 miles.
Surely you could put 4,000 miles on the Civic by the end of the year?
