Is this the definition of irony? I'm never quite sure I get it right...

Found out this evening that a friend of a friend traded in her immaculate, relatively low-kilometers '08 Prius for peanuts a couple of weeks ago because the "transmission went".

There went an ideal candidate for drivetrain parts from the cheap rusted one I looked at.
