Big thanks to fshagan for helping me with pricing, and so glad I found this forum I just got my new car home, and the drive was great, very excited. This car is much nicer than I thought. Very happy with it. Can't wait to take it on a road trip to NorCal or Vegas. It is a II, Blizzard White with Misty Grey interior, and has floor mats, cargo mat/cover/net, and first aid kit. I think I got a pretty good deal, msrp was $24,060, and I paid $21,690 plus tax, and got .9% for 60 months with 0 down. So happy I chose to get this car !!
Welcome You'll grow to love the car even more - just wait until you have to fill it up and how much it costs.
Congrats on your new Prius and welcome to PriusChat. Your owner's manual is loaded with useful information and how-to's, so be sure to spend some time reading. Happy Motoring, tom
Thanks everyone, sure appreciate it. Great tip on the manual, yes, I can already tell I need to read that thing - I was stuck leaving the dealer - How do I drive this again? Pretty funny ... Just a little feedback in the almost 1 day since I've had this car - I have owned over two dozen cars in my life, some cheap and some not so cheap, and I have never been so floored by getting so much car for so little money. It's just amazing !! During delivery, I was pointed out to like 10 different features I had no clue this car even had. Just an awesome experience - which I'm sure will only become better.
I started mine with a pretty basic package (with SKS and Rearview Cam). I have a lot of mods done to it. Do you plan on adding / upgrading it any time soon? Tint maybe?
Ya, I checked some of your links, awesome car !! The only thing I will be doing is the stereo - I don't really need Nav ... but will be getting a head unit, an amp and aftermarket speakers .. I have a place I deal with - and they do real nice work. Probably won't get it done till after the new year, but will post some pics once it's done.
congrat! i wish we could get nice rebate and almost 0% on financing here in Canada......but like usual we can keep dreaming!
Thanks - just took my first road trip ... from Palm Springs to Los Angeles ... drove around a bit over two days, and then back ... Had a GREAT time ... this car ROCKS !!! and got over 51 mpg .... just laughing, never had this much fun in a car this inexpensive ~
Congrats on the new Prius. You'll love it! I liked mine so much, so did the wife, we bought another. We have one black, and one white.
That's awesome ... my spouse has the Honda Insight ... got it when they had that great lease deal early this year ... I do like that car alot as well ... the gas mileage is not as good .. but I have always liked Honda's. I can see us getting another Prius when the Honda lease is over .. I just noticed a black Prius the other day - they are really sharp.
Ok, the only bad part is the stereo, but I would rather put my own system in any way. This car could of come with no radio, and it would have been fine. Thought I would upgrade later, but can't stand not having good sound. Should have it finished in 10 days. Going with a new head unit, amp, and new speakers. Didn't think I would do a sub in the back, but might as well nothing giant, probably just a 10 inch. edit - vehicle will be done in a week ... Getting a Kenwood head unit, Focal speakers, Arc Amp, and a JL or Focal subwoofer in the rear ...
