According to info on this site, the invoice for this exact car would have been $35273 in 2009. Assuming I could have gotten 1000 off invoice in 2009, that means this deal would only be saving 2973 for essentially 2 years and almost 5000 miles on the car. Definitely doesn't seem like a good deal at all at 31.3 but that's why I'm trying to see what you guys think I should offer.
When I bought my car, I helped a fellow on the forum buying one out of state. It was a touring with sport, I think he got it for 32-34K. I bought the same car with no touring for i think 28900 or something.

The used car market is forked. My Prius is worth $1K more than what I paid with 45K miles on it. I had paid sticker for it at the time!!!
