    None. My reply is based on website inventory. Holman Toyota: 52 2010's; Liberty Toyota: 31 2010's; Liberty Toyota: 8 2010's; Dayton Toyota: 20 2010's.

    I'd say the slow boat from Japan hasn't arrived.

    Well, I did it. Toyota Financial & I are now proud owners of a 2010 Winter Gray Metallic Prius III with Nav. Despite the fact my Gen II is totaled, I ended up with good timing.

    The brother of a friend is a Toyota district manager in this area. He was kind enough to hook me up with what I was looking for at invoice. So I saved a good 2500 off MSRP. And I was able to get in under the wire today and qualify for the 0% financing.

    It's gonna take me a little time to get used to the new one. But I'm sure I'll be back with a comparison report between the Gen II & Gen III.

    I'm just so glad I'm back in a Prius. :D

    I'm glad you're ok, Proco. :)

    Seriously. I've always been curious as to what the coolant "thermos" looked like.

    To the OP? The whole experience was probably unexpectedly trying, but in a weird way the timing was really good.

    Despite the payments....enjoy the new Prius.

    sucks man, i just crashed my '04 with 85K, sideswiped a semi on I-93S. The damage on mine isn't as bad, it still drives completely fine; however, there may have been frame damage from an undocumented accident by the previous owner, which combined with the new damage may just be enough to total the car. (I need almost every panel replaced on the driver's side. both dors, new drivers window, new driver's mirror, new fender, new quarter panel, and a new tire). Im glad you are okay as well

    I'm here to help.

    Yeah, it's kind of funny how that worked out. Almost like the universe was apologizing.

    I would suggest, as a gesture of gratitude, that you bring a shrubbery to The Knights who say NI. No, make that two shrubberies, and arrange the two shrubberies so that they get a two-level effect (...with a little path running down the middle). After that, go into the forest and fell the mightiest tree, with ... a herring. Only upon doing this will you be given the winning numbers to the next $355 million lottery.
