I figure I can trade in for a better car in a few years and the car will hold a good value due to demand for high mpg cars.
[spoil]You will find out that due to high demand, there is a waiting list a Prius. They do not have to drop price. [/spoil]

Considering buying the 2008 Prius. Whats your thoughts in todays market? Toyota does not have to bargain at all in this market as people are trading in their SUV's to go to a more fuel efficient vehicle.
Considerations are that SUV's are dropping in value, and demand plus cost of raw materials is growing....cost/price of Prius is going up!
However, there may be some new tax incentives this year and detroit is finally gearing up to go into the market in a big way. (Maybe still three years out.) Honda is also making new plans.
Would it be worth waiting for the new lythium ion battery technology and plug in features.( 2010 models) I also don't think that the 08 Prius can use flexfuel. Therefore, my thoughts of making my own ethanol at home would go down the drain.
Any thoughts???
Thanks!
