Going to pick up gen3 Pkg 5 W tp this morning

I am new to this forum, and hope to be a major contributor. I have been looking to pull the trigger on a new prius for some time now. Since the gov is giving me 4500 for my old GMC it just sweetens the deal for me.

I spoke with a dealer in my area yesterday, they have a V/with TP in stock. I put a deposit on it last night and am picking it up this morning. Do you guys have any advice for me as I purchase? like things to ask for (i.e. disable reverse warning)

I am not new to the prius, I belong to the philly car share that has a mostly prius fleet. I am just getting the new car buyer jitters and drawing blanks.

 

Anyone? help please??

 

I am finding the dealer is the only one able to remove it or make it one beep instead of the constant.

 

I was wondering if I should get the warranty or not.

Great find! Thanks! I am printing this out now.

By the way I am getting mine at Lawrence Toyota.

 

I had 2 choices at the dealer. 1. wait for the prius IV silver to arrive Aug. 28th or get a 3 that they had. Then some guy who ordered a blue V canceled out. It had just arrived off of the truck. I wanted a V with a TP but could not locate one. This dealer is not charging me over the MSRP and thus far has been accommodating to my reasonable requests. No add on tactics have been thrown as of yet. I am not financing the car so they have no incentive to bend over backwards. I hope they give me a good price on the warranty. $1050 seems great.

Ok it is close to my appointment so I'm leaving the house. I'll have my Macbook with me so I can post from the dealer.

 

I am sitting in front of the finance manager and she has taken offense to your comment... lol watch out she is about to reply in this forum.

 

all good fun guys but now I have to talk warranty and stuff so I'll check back in later with the final results.

So far so good though.

 

I'm still on page 54 of the manual... jk

So far so good. I love the larger wheels, it gives the car a better ride. The auto park is just plain weird. I don't think I'll ever use it again. Love the LED head lights. Fog lights are not bright at all. The voice activated features are not all they are cracked up to be and the Nav is ok. (I like my tomtom better)

I have connected 2 cell phones to it and it has a problem when both are in the car. I may be doing something wrong. It looks great! I am glad they did away with the star trek shuttle craft look of the gen 1 & 2. The sleeker lines are a much better design. Bottom line is I got 50 mpg. I could have had that with a lower price package 3 or 4. No regrets though I like the toys.

The dealership kept up the professionalism. I was given reasonable prices on Warranty, service contract & a paint protection package. Sales guy (Mitchell) was really great. He went above and beyond. I normally rip sales guys apart, but his communication and diligence was something else. He had the car already in prep before we even got there. He took the time to explain everything even after the contracts were signed and the keys were handed over. I don't normally go this far to give credit but here it is due.

There are so many technical things about this car roughly 32,500 that out does my $85,000 BMW 540i (not performance though)

First day impression is 2 thumbs up. (but it could be buyers high)

 

Sunday is picture day for her. I can't think of a name yet. lol

I think the parking feature is for when you have eminent vision loss and no chance of getting in with out wrecking the other cars. For most of us that know how to park it is just a fruity feature we can throw in the face of our best friend with a twin turbo nissan Z with 600 hp and 12 mpg.

When is yours due?
