The 2011 was bought brand new in 11/2011, and in 6 months we have already put 20,000 miles on it (could possibly hit 40K by the one year mark).
That's the big reason....
Maintenance costs are maybe a little bit higher than your regular car in the same price range...I've spent about $3,500 in maintenance over 4 years, including 2 sets of tires, on the older Prius. The new one has the first 25,000 miles covered for maintenance.
Couldn't you at least get two different colors though?
