What's a good TCH color for a future trade in?

Typically the standard non-COOL colors:
White
Silver
Beige
etc.
Next time you're at the airport take a gaze at the colors
in the Avis and Hertz lots. They want to recoop as much value
as they can when they auction off their used cars.

A crazy color might not bring as much at trade in time.

Of course talk of trade-in value is moot. We all love our TCHs so much we're going to keep them forever.

I felt exactly that way when I took delivery of my '04 Prius. Then the 07 Camry HV came out and I traded up almost instantly. Haven't looked back. But if something better does come down the pipe I'll evaluate it at that time.
Never say never.

I had to transfer this over from another thread (I am so proud of my mid-meeting brainstrom, I felt I needed to share it)!



OK - I am starting a subforum devoted to the best TCH owners in the world:
I am going to call it the "Distinctive, Elite MAGnetic Gray Owners Group". That's "DEMAGGOG" for short.

Think demagogue!

LOL. I kill myself sometimes.

No wonder the bloggers say their right wing brothers on the net are in the "wingnutosphere". It spreads to the green hybrid forum.

And honestly, how is getting 40mpg NOT being conservative. We're conserving money and the environment. Teddy Roosevelt would be proud.

I considered the hybrid a more "liberal" vehicle of choice and knowing just how much diversity is valued by the world (especially liberals) today I have been following with grinning interest the formation of a clique withing the brother (and sister) hood of TCH owners.

I've now learned that there is a world of hybrid and non-hybrid drivers. Within the hybrid group there is a new movement of owners like us purchasing a traditional, non-geeky looking Camry hybrid. Somewhat of a "new direction" type of normal folks that have joined the hybrid revolution.

Next step just had to be the elitist group that seperates themselves further.

Take notice BLUES! We will not bow down to the Blue Ribbon hybrid owners. And for those of you with the stripped Blue's take note the elite will soon shun you as well and they will no longer share with you the secret wave. Choose your side now; be an equal with the rest of us or take your chance with the BLUES.

WOW!!! Someone from Cambridge, MA using the word conservative without an expletive preceding it.
