    Picked mine up at Classic Toyota in Waukegan, IL -- effortless sale and trade in with no b.s. I paid about $1000 under MSRP. Only thing I would ding dealer over is not having spare key fob in stock.

    So far, I like my jet black 2010 Prius II (have had several as rentals) although I wish the center console had a storage space for CD's.

    Might add black door strips and, eventually, fog lamps.

    :welcome:to PC. Congratulations on your new Prius, enjoy. Car ships with two fobs, were you going to get a 3rd one or did one of the originals get lost?

    Welcome and enjoy the ride!
    p.s. if you do the fog light upgrade, I would highly recommend upgrading the head unit (stereo). I just did mine this weekend and what a huge improvement in sound (even with the stock speakers). I will be creating a DIY document soon.

    OK, someone's gotta ask. Why do you always carry two fobs?

    Guess it's the cop in me. Always carried a spare set of keys. In this case, lockout due to a lost key probably wouldn't be the issue as much as battery or electronic failure.

    Actually not an issue at all because the doors will NOT lock (electronically) if the FOB is in the car.
