In October 2005, this NHW11, 2003 Prius cost $17,300 and had 49,394 miles: [IMG]http://hiwaay.net/%7Ebzwilson/prius/sale.jpg[/IMG] Since then, I've had a lot fun and learned a lot. It has become my hobby car, something I would never have expected. Three years and six months later, I've got 57,058 miles at 52.2 MPG and couldn't be happier. Although it has its quirks, it has remained a reliable, cost-effective ride and the 50+ MPG I was getting gave my late father great happiness and pride. I was so happy he got to see that day arrive.
