The Porsche dealer took it in trade without hesitation, and it was sold to another dealer before the end of the day.

But I'm not going back, I enjoy the Box too much. No takesy-backsey is what I told the dealer.
What happens with all of the batteries that will eventually have come out of those Prius-es ? They can't be reused or recycled . Buried in the earth for the next 100 millenniums ?
