Agreed to buy this little guy this morning. 2012 Prius C 2 with 108000 miles. Very clean. Should get me about five years until I can get a VW ID.GTI.

As is the norm, I'm posting before I take possession. It has a CD player so I don't have to lose my music too!

I didn't know what it would be, but I was expecting it to be in gold and possibly British. Are you going to get a gold wrap? cheeky

Being that it is a Prius C with level 2 trim, though a level 3 trim was offered, should this be...

C Two PO instead of C Three PO

but, C3PO is much more popular.

You might be surprised and find yourself falling in love with it.  My daughter now has mine, but I had it for almost 2 years before giving it to her.  It is probably the best A to B car I've ever owned.  That's not damning it with faint praise.  It's so good at doing the job it was designed for.  50+mpg, all day comfy, reliable as the sunrise, simple and easy interior, no fuss.  I miss the car dearly.

Agreed.  One of my sisters had one for 12 years and 100,000+ miles and it simply did what it was designed to do with absolutely no hiccups.

See, I shouldn't have added the level.

It's just a C to me. So, Threepio jumped into my head immediately.

This may very well be "the Droid you are looking for."

Live long and prosper.  Oops, mixed metaphors.

Good choice. You buy that from the buy-here-pay-here truck with all those little salespeople running around? Those guys never shut up.

Last I saw they had some good deals but i had no need for a protocol droid.

Make sure you check for a bad motivator.
