So... back in Jan of 2021...
And this past Thursday I got the call.....(original deposit put down Nov 2022, 3 days before official debut)
rippp 56K or the 28.8K lolol here you go Badhobz... this is as good as my S21 will do lol, my DSLR has so much dust that the battery is dead ....
Math also kinda worked out...
Due to the trade in of the original Ioniq Hybrid in 2021, I paid $37K after tax brand new for my 2021 Prius Prime.
3 years later with 31K on the odo (I know low KMs, no accidents), including tax savings, Toyota managed to pay me a touch over $35K (trade value $31,2XX)
The new 2024 Prime was also bought under employee discount (I asked, no GT3s) (so no fees at all except the govt fees, actually out the door price is still a couple hundred bucks below Toyota.ca pricing)
Oh and yes...befriending the insurance agent that always come to your dealer has its perks lolol~~
1 thing I didn't expect was insurnace though... fook me...it went from $2100 to $3000 and imma like.... foook... dont be like me, do research in all areas before saying yes to the sales on the other end lolol (I didn't have the balls to tell wifey what the new insurnace is, its okay, comes out of my account anyways lololol)
Biggest upgrade for the wife is... wireless android auto, longer range, front + rear ultrasonic parking sensors
Biggest upgrade for me is... car is no longer slow, dare I say kinda fast... and sunroofs? ngl, hoping the prime will be like the last one, hold good value in the next 3 to 5 years until I find something else lolol
