Hey CrazyGuy. Let me know how it goes. I am in Dallas as well and I am thinking in selling my truck in BTC. Good luck.

Great car! I have a 2008 with 120,000 miles on it and it's never broken down or needed anything other than routine maintenance. For anyone looking for a reliable, low maintenance, and fuel efficient vehicle, the Prius is definitely the way to go!

Ok, this isn't really fair but I've posted the only picture I could find, which is when I first got the car in early 2010. I'll take some new pictures within the week if anyone is interested.

Updated with rate

For a moniker like 'CrazyGuy', that sure is a sensible car! Good luck to you.

Hey based on the post below, you're still selling it. Since this thread is about 6 months old, is it still 14 btc?

Also, I'm in California, so is there any way to make the sales work from Texas to Cali?

Yes, still for sale but 14 BTC is a little low now given the rate. I'd let it go for $12k in bitcoins. If you're interested, you can come pick it up, or we can arrange some kind of shipping service.

why would you buy a prius?

I suppose individual preference is involved. My question might be why wouldn't you?

I spend a lot of time driving. I want it to be a pleasure. I like luxury and superb build quality. With sex appeal.  I'm young and have no family to burden me. :)

From a pure investor perspective, you made the right moves.  Cheap. Excellent MPG.  Low insurance rates. And spend your money on things that would rather appreciate than the other way round. 

Buuuuttt... what's the point of having nice toys when you're an old fart.

It appears you've answered your first question with your second paragraph. I enjoy driving my Prius and will likely get another fuel efficient car. They aren't for everyone, but the same thing holds true for any material object.

What about a Tesla? I took the P85 for a testdrive the other day.  Very fun.  What are your thoughts on it?

Wizkid got one recently and he seems to love it.

Awesome car, but a tad more expensive than my Prius. I do think it's pretty cool that tesla is open sourcing all their patents.

Teslas are the shitz. My housemate has one, and now it makes me wanting one so bad. One thing holding me back is that there is this fear if I run out of battery while on a road trip, then I'm fuked. There are not many charge stations as there are gas stations. At least with a Prius, it also runs on gas in case you're in a pinch.

Where are you getting the 12k figure? I'm seeing $8.5k to $10.5k on KBB for private party. How well does a child's car seat fit into one of these things?

Statistically how often does that happen though?  You can always pull into a gas station or a nearby hotel an and use the wall plug charger to give yourself some juice to finish the trip.

The acceleration on the P85 was amazing.  Loved it.  Makes me wanna challenge all the M3/4 and Audi RS5s on the road. :)

Right now I'm juggling between the new BMW M4 and Tesla S.  The tesla has so much cool tech but man the exterior design just pisses me off. It doesn't say 'hey, i'm a $90k car'. and looks too much like an ordinary family sedan.   I may just get the M4 and switch to a Tesla in 5 years. It ought to have superb polish by then.

The tesla is very sexy but it could use some exterior work. I love the retractable door handles!

One day!!!!

As for the Prius for sale would you be able to get the sticker for california to drive in the car pool lane?

Yeah, that was my thought.  On top of that you have to pay to get it back to you (plane ticket & gas?) which would further increase the price.  I'm interested, but 12k seems a bit high.

Move along spammer!

How is this car still be sold if this was posted back in January? I would imagine someone would have took the offer if not in btc then with cash. IS there a lack of vehicle maintenance history or something we're missing?

I'm not actively marketing the vehicle. No craigslist posts, ebay etc… Absolutely nothing wrong with the car, and I could drive it for another few years if need be, I'm just putting it out here to see if anyone is interested. Plus, it's been over a year since I sold a car on the forums. I figured it's time to get another one moving.

I have an RS5, driven a P85+ too, it would be very close, but the gas guzzler has the legs as the speed rises. :P

Good luck on your sale OP. :)
