While, I think Toyota makes a great product, it's hard to imagine a car of this type selling for that much money...except for when I consider the times we're in and that it's an EV. I hope car makers notice that some people are fully willing to put their money where their mouth is. :)

I seriously doubt this car
 
I seriously doubt this car was $67k brand new. If this continues then dealers will jack up the prius prices.

You are correct. They sold for around $42,000 brand new. After tax benefits they ended up costing around $30,000.

There are not too many Rav4 EV's around, so it's a matter of supply and demand right now.

So many Rav4 EV's will get jacked. They are selling at 200%+ their value. I know where there are a couple :evil:

I hope you're joking. It doesn't make sense to steal a completely unique car, it's not like you can sell it whole, and you can't really part it out either and have the parts be totally anonymous. That's like stealing a new civic, sure someone just paid 14k for it, but the engine is useless to most and you can't sell a stolen shell.

who said anything about selling. All you have to do is have a homey at the DMV to give you a completly new registration for the car and you can drive it around.

DISCLAIMER: I don't know anybody in the dmv and I hate their long lines.

Sometimes the line here is 20-30min. I haven't gone to the DMW since 2002 so I don't know how it is now.

30 minutes seems like a fair price to pay to be allowed to drive.
