That seems like a lot to trade in on one of these. I have not priced one, but they must be more than I thought. I would think that the VUE alone would be worth about the same price- if it were a 03' model. I guess the hybrid models cost more than a typical car. Did you have to pay any cash as well? Some of these new car dealers like to rip people off. Its ludicrous.
I know that a new Avalon (Toyotas flagship sedan) can be bought for about $30000-$35000. What is the retail price of a new Prius?
