I suspect many members do not own a Prius, but I figured I would ask anyway. Presently, I own only one vehicle-a 97 Tacoma 4X4. But, I was going through a green light in town late last month (December 2010) and a young gal ran the red light and "t-boned" me. Thank goodness she admitted to the cop that she ran the red light, because everyone going through the green light with me kept going. She missed all of them somehow. I had to have the alignment fixed on my truck, but I am still able to drive it and her insurance has since paid me to have it fixed. (It was an ordeal though.) I really loved the truck and I realize now that replacing it with another is not an option as those smaller (not made now) trucks in good condition are outrageous. I can buy a black door and fender from a junk truck locally and then have the body work done. So, I can actually save a little by doing that way. I can also keep driving it as-is indefinitely.
But, I have considered buying a little Corolla or Civic as a gas saver for longer trips and daily driving. I know owning two vehicles does not make financial sense. I had an older Camry I had just sold, betting I would never get into this predicament.
Anyway, I have also had the wild idea of a buying Prius. I have found a couple for sale reasonably priced. If anyone owns one, I would appreciate their thoughts on it.
