What does owning a prius entail?

For example do you own the whole vehicle or are the batteries on lease.....How does it work?

There's 3 available, 2 at Enfield 1 at Blackbushe

Why does it say 5% buyers fee in the specs for the WX51 RAU ? They don't normally put that.

Community police use them here in Kensington. Be interesting to hear what they fetch at auction with 100k miles on them. Are they still viable?

The 5% is instead of the BCA buyers premium.

This is something applied to Police & similarly MoD fleets, as an extra profit element for the vendor, we must assume!!

It seems that quite a lot of fleet type vehicles are registered in Bristol perhaps because, a/ because they come off the boat in Portbury and are prepared locally before onward shipment to the user and/or b/ because there are a few vehicle prep companies in the Portbury area that fit out UK built and well as foriegn vans etc for the likes of BT.
