this post is worthless without more details about the car and deal (and congrats btw)

Awesome! Congrats on your new Prius. You saved $, now enter the PLOSAY LL tourney. Or I'll let you out now for $15.
lol the needle is actually really close - honda insight.
my trade in was a 2009 toyota camry LE with 135k miles. damage: typical dings all around from doors opening into the car; a couple of spots of paint chipping from the hood (very small) from god knows what; scratches on the trunk that i think i did but don't know how; a crack in the molding under the rear driver side wheel where some moron didn't know how to use a jack properly (there before i got the car); in severe need of a brake job; center console cracked along the top. their first offer was $2k.
the purchase was a 2013 honda insight with 274 miles on it. it was stickered for $21,800 and advertised on the website for $14k. of course, as anyone who has tried to shop for cars using internet prices knows, there is all kind of fine print which will prevent that from being the actual cost of the car. in this case, they said it was only available to "honda loyalty" members who were trading in a car 3 or fewer years old with 36k or fewer miles and bought from that dealership. that price is also subject to a "certification" fee, a "prep" fee, and the typical taxes/"document" fee/title fee, etc. all in all, they expected me to pay $21,500 out the door.
i countered with $14k out the door and $6k for my trade in. the rest of the process is boring to most, so i'll just give results: they gave me $6,400 which would be a good but not great price if i sold it myself, but is fucking astonishing that they gave it to me as a trade in and i got the honda for $15,750 out the door.
