It didn't qualify on price for this thread, but I missed out on another $3k 2005 Prius yesterday. The ad was posted at lunch, car was sold by suppertime. Low km too: 140k (87k mi). (Note to self: increase frequency of already-obsessive kijiji checking!)

It had non-critical body damage: the passenger side rocker panel was crushed going over a curb.

I shall persevere! One day I will own a Toyota hybrid. Ah... the aspirations of nerds.
