$1100?!?!? Are You Kidding Me?!?!?

So, I did it. I test drove the Prius. Nice! Like driving a spaceship...not that I've ever driven a space ship, but well, you know. And it was the color and package that I wanted. It just so happened that the deal fell through with another customer and they had it in stock. It felt a little crazy and impulsive, but I damn near bought it.

I say damn near because the jerk off at Bennett Toyota in Bethlehem only wanted to give me $1100 for the Fuckus. Bastard! I should have printed out the Kelly Blue Book quote that was for $3000 and at the very least, he could have given me $2000 for it. But he wouldn't budge. The only other options that he gave me was to put more down or stretch the payments out longer. Fuck that. Not happening.

So here's the deal. I'm going to test drive a Civic...just out of curiousity. I'm 99% sold on the Prius. I'm just going to contact a bunch of dealers and shop around for a better trade in. Whoever gives it to me gets the sale. If I get nowhere, I'll see what Honda is willing to do.
