The Toyota Prius sets the standard for environmentally friendly hybrid transportation. It delivers extremely good fuel efficiency in a front-wheel drive, five-door liftback.
Now available in three trims, the Toyota Prius is a roomy mid-size car, producing low emissions and achieving excellent fuel economy. A wind-cheating, super-low 0.26 cD also helps to minimize interior noise. Powered by Toyotas' Hybrid Synergy Drive a 1.5 liter four-cylinder gas engine and continuously variable transmission combine with a powerful electric motor for 110 combined horsepower. The standard warranty for hybrid-related components is 8 years/100,000 miles. Features like power mirrors, remote keyless entry, and a tilt steering wheel with redundant climate and audio controls are standard. Standard safety features include dual-stage front airbags, side-curtain and front-seat side airbags.
For 2008, the Toyota adds a more affordable Standard trim to the Prius lineup in addition to the Base and Touring trims.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2008 Toyota Prius, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2008 Toyota Prius for less money than when it was new. If the 2008 Toyota Prius was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2008 Toyota Prius is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
