Well, it's time the Prius and myself parted.

Life circumstances change and my ex-wife gets the car. It really is too good to sell on, so better her and my daughter have reliable transport than selling it to a taxi driver. No doubt I will see it again every so often when it needs a little bit of tlc.

I remember the trepidation I had when we first got it, but ownership has mostly been a pleasure. Highly recommended. I hope it puts in many more years of faithful service.

I think I'm going to lease for a couple of years until my life straightens out. I've got my eye on a VW Up which will be fun for the timebeing.

I know the arguments for and against, but right now I want a couple of years of MOT-less motoring.

If things works out right, then maybe one day I might be leasing a Tesla 3.

So a big thankyou to the friendly bunch here.

If it hadn't been for some people on this forum, then I wouldn't have taken the plunge.

Au revoir

Good luck, but no need to disappear, you can still pop in from time to time ;)

Leasing certainly sounds sensible - I wish I'd done that when I moved to Norfolk to stay with my mother after the death of my sister and the end of a 24 year relationship!

I wasn't thinking straight and sold my last Prius, bought a 1.33 petrol 6 speed MultiMode Yaris - if I'd never seen a Hybrid I'd probably have loved it, but hated the analogue instruments they'd just switched back to and missed the hybrid features big time.

Sold it for half the £14k it cost me after a year when I bought the current Prius - ex other half was happy though - she got the Yaris at a further discount and still loves it. And, yes, I still see it when it needs MoT or service!
