Hi!! Just joined the Prius Family!

Hi :cheer2:
I had a 02 Audi A4 Quattro in mint shape but was starting to creak and groan a little. Also had oil spots in the garage. Also, took 93 premium gas from only the 'good' gas stations and getting about 18 MPG city with the onboard computer.

Wasn't planning to buy a car, but I made the mistake of going into the dealer to see the new C model and test drove the GenIII and got it 2 days later. Can't say I did a lot of research, but I did compare to the Honda hybrid and Jetta TDI.
I hope I got a good price- I bought the extended warranty and am now waiting for a quote from Troy. I may return the one to dealer I got the car from

So I got the last 2011 on the lot, a blizzard pearl, 2011, no nav, basic standard options. We are loving driving it. Still getting used to the weird noises. Don't miss the Audi as much as I though I would.

I wanted to get the mudflaps but 2 dealers here told me they don't make them for 2010/2011. I see them on this site and others, so that confuses me.

I've been reading the boards a lot this past few days and learning a lot. I'm so glad this board exists with so many good owners willing to share info and help us new to the party get 'up to speed'.

 

Thanks everyone!

Anyway, I forgot to mention that my dog THREW UP in the car on the 2d day... We were parked waiting for someone, and she was on my lap. Thankfully (funny to say that..) it was mostly on me and plastic. Didn't leave any lasting stains, but I'm still going to look into some spray on stain-repellent stuff.

 

I was also told the same by 2 different dealers - I even asked one to find it by p/n which they said was invalid. Both said they'd install for about $60 but that they wouldn't warranty the item.
I am still going to inquire more about this, because after < 1 week of ownership, the car is mostly still clean except down there by the mud flap area.
I know it's a simple job, but don't trust myself making the drill holes etc myself (would be the first time)
