. . . Others have said that eBay is a pretty good option too. Any thoughts?

I used to drive 100 miles a day in my Camry at 24 MPG, but now, my commute to work is all of 3 miles (almost all on city roads). So I'm really looking forward to the new drive (hopefully almost all on electric) to work.
I used Ebay to buy an 03 Prius in Texas and was very satisfied. The larger the pool of sellers, the easier it is to get a good deal. One California poster recently bought his new Prius in Washington DC and flew out to pick it up. But the rule of thumb is:

Good, fast, cheap -- pick two of three

GOOD LUCK!
