    Hello all, I'm the proud new owner of an '06, package 8. One owner, clean carfax and 94K miles. Asking was $14,999 and I paid $13,400. (I did pretty well, yes?)

    I am so excited to learn how to drive my Prius to get the most efficiency and fun out of it. I sat in my drive way for an hour last night reading over the manual. So fun!

    Your car is just about ready for a new 12v battery. Bad news is it will cost over $200.

    Thanks for the hint. I just did a check Based on the instructions in the service bulletins thread over in Care and Maintenance and it does look like my 12v is low. The heads up is very appreciated!
