    Greetings everyone!

    First time Prius owner here, although there are already two others in the family (both gen 2). It took a few attempts to actually seal a deal... apparently these things are hot commodities in Southern California? I'd have an appointment set to meet up with the seller, only to have them inform me "it just sold", or worse, ghost me (which is the ultimate rude behavior of our era).

    I finally took delivery of a 2007 V trim, in Pistachio Metallic. It's going to need a fair amount of reconditioning just to make it tolerable, then after some time the modifications will commence!

    Anyway, thanks in advance for having me here. This seems to be a robust source of knowledge, and I look forward to learning all about these cars.

    Welcome. I had an '07 and took it to ~123,000 miles before trading in. How many miles on your "new" ride?

    Over 230,000 miles. The previous owners were not too kind to this car. I will post some photos once I unlock that ability.
