Con's of making the move:
1) I only drive 125 miles a week max - so my overall gas mileage saving probably wouldn't be much (I haven't calculated the difference yet). I also ride my bike whenever the weather cooperates.
2) Is my commute long enough to warm up the Prius or the TCH so that I can recognize better MPG?
3) I could lose money since dealers likely aren't giving discounts on the TCH or the Prius.
4) I hate dealing with car dealers.
5) My wife will ridicule me for selling a car 9 months after buying it.

1) More of an argument for an electric bike or scooter?
2) It is not long enough to get any of our vehicles 'warmed up.' You might investigate block and other heaters.
3) Actually, there are credible reports that Toyota prices have softened. Do it before gas gets back up to $2.50
4) Ebay is a lot nicer than local car dealers.
5) That is in the 'fine print' in the marrage license written in fine point obscura.
GOOD LUCK!
