A few months ago, before Toyota increased the supply of the Prius in the US and before oil prices went down, it would have been a few thousand dollars higher than what you paid, although I am not sure if you could still get someone to pay that.

$19,000 for a Prius with 55000 miles on it isn't a good price, especially since that seems to be a base model with no options, and you won't get any $1650 tax credit on it.
Miller Toyota (DC more or less)has 44 Prius in stock. They have a couple of PK6 for $24500-which is under $23000 with the tax credit-MSRP is $26700. It would certainly be worth $4000 to me to get a loaded- Stability control,HID, rear backup camera, Bluetooth(whatever that is), some kind of fancy audio system,side airbag pk(which that one doesn't have, but the dealer tries to trick you into thinking it does by saying "driver side airbag, passenger's side airbag".
That Prius is almost out of warranty on pain in the butt items like AC, , radio, -all the non Hybrid items. In many states the Hybrid items are warrantied for >100,000 miles.
It isn't a good deal. Full MSRP on a base Prius is about $21,900-after the tax credit it is about $20,000-why buy a used one for just $1100 less?This is a great time to buy a new Prius-supply is WAAAAAY UP, demand is waaaaay down!!
Luck,
Charlie

phoebeisis,

If you didn't know, the bluetooth is a functionalilty that allows you to use a bluetooth equipped phone to use it "hands-free". The number calling you will come up on the MFD and you will hear it ring (and the person speak) through the forward, driver's side speaker.

Bluetooth is a data transfer capability.
