Hi. priuschat noob here. So I've decided to get a Prius. Live in Houston. Wondering if the Houston guys can recommend a good dealer? I've decided on Touring (yes still available in Houston) in Silver with package 5 or 6. I've been browsing the inventory in the surrounding dealers lots and they all seem to have one in stock(package 5). Test drove one at Sterling McCall but that particular car had over 150 miles on it. I know in the grand scheme of things that's not a big deal, but that's a lot of test miles from drivers/salemen unfamiliar with Prius nuances. Ideally I'd love a fresh from the factory car. Another irritating thing about buying in Houston is that Gulf States Toyota loads up the Prii with lots of unnecessary junk. I hate the fake wood grain they tape over the silver trim. And pinstriping is just dumb, in the 21st century. Seems like right off the bat they take $1000 of the "msrp". But from lurking here that doesn't seem to be much of a deal. Thanks for reading my first post.
We recently bought our Highlander from Don McGill (Katy Fwy @ Dairy Ashford) and I was very impressed with the dealership. It was my first car purchase that didn't leave me thinking the dealership was evil and ripped me off. They also did a good job prepping the car and getting us through the paperwork quickly, even though it was extremely busy that day. Of course that is just one experience, but I will check them out first when I am ready to get my Prius.
i like the way i was treated at Mike Calvert Toyota, in Houston. Went to gullo hass on 45 once, for service and it was a very bad experience.
I thought all Houstonians drove Big Oil SUV's It is good to know that there are some correct thinking people out there. Congrats and welcome to the good side.

all the housewives drive excursions and expeditions to go get groceries. since we houstonians eat THAT much
