Going from a Prius to a a Prius C

I have a blown head gasket on my 2013 Prius (225k miles). It’s served me well but I’m not prepared to dump more money on this car, as it’s likely the hybrid battery would just go next.

I’m considering buying a 2016 Prius c with 105k miles at $9000. The main reason I’m interested in this car is because of the great price, and it’s considerably cheaper than buying a used Prius or Corolla hybrid. I’d be financing at 5% for 36 months. Not sure how much I’d put down yet. I could buy all cash, but I don’t think that’d be wise in my current situation.

Is this a good deal? Did you guys feel like going from a Prius to a Prius c is a downgrade? I love the cargo space in my 2013 Prius, and being able to car camp in it is great.

edit: I think the reason it's $9000 is because it has had 5 previous owners. There are other Prius C's in my area with similar mileage and fewer owners (or retired fleet vehicles), but they start at about $10000-12000. Not sure about how negotiable these used car dealerships are though.
