Newbies - Let's See Some Pics!

Here is my 3 week old Prius. New wheels are on the way!

 

Newbies, We I'm one for sure lol, G'day I'm Peter from Australia, I don't drive at Gen 3 Prius, but I am a Toyota owner, I drive a 2008 manual Toyota YRX Yaris silver sedan. basically this model comes with 6 airbags, bluetooth built into the audio system, a full body kit and alloys. I must say I love the Gen 3 Prius. We have 3 model versions over here in OZ, the base Prius which comes with 7 airbags, 15 inch alloys, cruise control and all the features on your "US Prius two Version" with a retail on road price of around $38,000 Aussie dollars. the top spec Prius comes in 2 versions, known on our market as the I-Tech. The cheaper I-tech Model at $ 48,500 au dollars on the road, does not have the Moon roof but has the 17 inch alloys, leather seats and trim and all the good techy stuff from your "US Five version Prius" but without the Lane keeper assist. The more expensive I-tech model at $50,000 Au dollars has the moon roof and the 15 inch alloys along with all the good techy stuff from your "US Five version Prius" but again without the Lane keeper assist. Metallic paint costs another $350.00 on all Prius models. On day my next Car will be a new Prius, it is an amazing car, if only Toyota listen to the current owners and make the changes to future models, like changing the annoying reversing beeper, upgrade the GPS with an improved model and better Graphics and have a better Ipod connection system for the Audio the car would be Spectacular. My Favourite Prius color I would say on our Aussie market is Tasman Blue, which I think is the same as blue ribbon on your US market. I enjoy reading the posts, posted on Prius chat and even though I have not driven a Prius reading all your posts has given me great insight into this amazing car. I especially enjoyed the thread which expalins how the Hybrid drive system works with a man talking on a video on you tube and explaining how this amazing technology works in the Prius and all the other other you tube videos I have watched on the Gen 3 Prius Test drives prius features etc.

 

Here's my new-to-me car! Isn't it pretty? 2006 Prius...only 32K miles. It looks brandy new.
So far....I LOVE IT!

 

Looks to be in great condition!

 

[New owner here. Picked up my new 2006 Prius (loaded) with 112,500 miles. Near mint condition, Dealer service from day one till the day I got it. Dealer installed chrome wheel covers. First time I've ever seen them. Sets me apart!!!

How Can I post pictures to the "NEWBIES" thread if I have to have more than 5 posts...sucks for newbies..not much of a newbies thread!!





First Ride To Work:



......well, I guess I can attach them, but I prefer the link method. oh well. in time.

 

Mine with 55% ceramic Suntek tints.

 

​

You mean Suntek Carbon or Suntek Carbon XP 55%? Suntek doesn't make any true ceramic films-- they are all dyed films with extra IR blockers...and maybe a layer of carbon.

 

First-time Prius owner here. Bought new on Labor Day - Prius III model, black, with Navi package.

 

Hello everybody! Newbie with pics on the way.... Just debadged my brand new blizzard pearl 2011 and getting them filed at my auto body shop.... 6 days old...

 

Looking forward to seeing that. Been wanting to do that myself.

 

Not to rain on your parade, but my Toyota / Subaru dealer had issues with the fact that the original owner of my Outback had de-badged the rear hatch of the car. (It's not like they couldn't tell it was an Outback, sheesh.) They still gave me what I wanted for the trade.

 

Hello PCF!
Just got my ride 2 weeks & 1 of those weeks was in the shop for clean up… (DEBADGE ALL)

I had to wash:washing: her for her 1st debuthoto:

What do you guys think?

 

^ looks wonderful. Just curious, how much to de-badge?

 

Debaging is usually done with a blow dryer, dental floss and goo gone since most of them are on with some type of double sided tape.

 

Spiderman- after getting quotes from nearly a dozen top rated A+++ auto body shops,... Which most of them ranged from a crazy $3900-$2800... My original 1st pick on the list which I went to see last..., did it for $1400... APEX auto body from San Jose Ca... Ask for Paul/co owner... He did pure quality without taking any short cuts... 100% warranty for life... Pearl faded blend looks factory...

David9962000-
Details: each badge has 2 holes behind them as big as an eraser on top of a pencil...
: 4 holes on rear garnish
: 2 holes driver side front fender
: 2 holes passenger side front fender
: 2 holes front bumper license plate

 

Wow, thanks for telling me about the holes. I was going to remove the sides ones. Too bad...

 

Hello!
Here's my new (to me) 2010 Prius V...

 

My wife and I have owned our 2011 Prius II for just under a week. It's been great fun getting acquainted with all the features, but to be honest, it's not been a difficult assignment. The picture shows our new vehicle exiting the launch bay. So far so good!

:O)
