OK my friends... going to show you something I learned that many people simply are not aware of... you can buy a car at (very close to) Blue Book value from Enterprise-Rent-A-Car ... and they will often buy your car from you at a reasonable trade in price.  Watch the video.

There's two good things I can think of about buying directly from dealer are (1) getting a longer warranty on the car and (2) getting a broader selection.  

Over at Enterprise they gave me a 1-year / 12K mile warranty on the certified, slightly used Prius and a 7-day or 1K mile "cooling off" period.  That means you can change your mind and bring the car back.  Not bad!

So I learned my lesson by going straight to a Toyota dealership a few years ago to get my first Prius, a 2009 with 36K miles at the price of $22K + taxes.  I got only $1500 for my trade-in which was a 2005 Saturn SUV in "good" condition.  Yes, I was foolish and in a hurry, because I wanted to keep driving as much as possible (back in 2014, when we made 1.75/mile at the base rate). But at least I got what I wanted, and I made good money with Lyft and paid off the car in under 2 years.  The reason I made this hasty decision was because I was getting tennis elbow and wrist cramps from my Saturn which was also a manual transmission... I really needed an automatic to prevent killing my joints.

Now, I look at other options, including Enterprise or any other rental facility (even though I'm buying to own -- not lease).

I'm not saying you shouldn't buy from a dealership, as they may have some good deals at the end of the month, or certain times of the year. But it's nice to have another option, which is why I made this video.
