You didn’t really dispute his comments though, which were valid. :walter:

Why should I bother. He obviously only wants to give his opinion while not listening to anyone elses.

I was doing a little searching on [kbb.com](http://kbb.com) and found this interesting.

2001 Prius vs 2001 Camry. Figuring 85k for both.

20000 prius MSRP in 2001  
10400 prius private party value today.

18500 camry MSRP in 2001  
7500 camry private party value today.

So the Camry actually lost a higher percentage of it’s original value.

Of course, which one would **YOU** buy used?
