Hey OBRA,

Anyone shopping for a new car? Take your pick! Bought a new house and need some cash for remodeling. Choose from a 2008 Prius, Barcelona Red, Package 3 with 13,000 miles or a 2009 Prius, White Package 2 with 21,000 miles. The Package 2 has the following features; 15-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry, tilt wheel, touchscreen and steering-wheel controls, a hybrid system display and a six-speaker stereo with a CD player, a cargo cover, stability control, ABS, heated mirrors and cruise control. It is white with a gray cloth interior. Excellent condition. $16,400. The Red Package 3 has all of that plus 6 disc changer with JBL sound system and mp3 jack, Bluetooth capability, back up camera, smart key, and an auto dimming rear view mirror with built in garage door opener. It has a tan cloth interior. $17,500. I'd like to keep the white one and the wife wants to keep the red one. But she's willing to give it up for new floors and appliances. Bought both of them new in '08. They actually get 42-45 mpg on the highway and 48-50 in town. Great cars!

Thanks for looking, Dave
