Hi Daigo, Welcome , I too am a newbie per say and I have found this site to have a plethora of knowledge. I think you will like it.
Congratulations!!! I am have a black 05 myslef, I love it and I think it was the best decision ever, I travel a lot and thanks to my Prius I have money left to spend when I get where I am going. I am new here too, but its already been a blast to meet a ton of new people.
Good taste! We picked up an '07 Seaside Pearl last week, although didn't want the GPS option so we did package 4 instead. Here in the east we had a heck of a time getting this color. Enjoy!
Welcome! Newbie too. 07 White, 3 weeks old. Just love her! Feels good to put $23.00 in the tank and have it FULL! All this info is AMAZING!
Hi. I will be joining you all next week when my 07 Seaside Pack #1 gets delivered. I have also been learning so much from this forum. Thanks for the great info! Have been feeling a little wary though after reading all the small, electric issues that have been cited, but crossing my fingers that my car will be one of those low-maintenance ones

Toyota has some but the point is they have fewer than average. The difference is perception. In American cars you expect to have a few minor problems. In a Toyota you expect to have no problems. You will find the Prius makes many strange noises and can do some really unexpected things. Part of the excitement is learning that they are normal. We help each other out by isolating the abnormal and hopefully saving some embarrassing and completely unnecessary trips to the dealer. The first few times the engine turns off can be disconcerting. When the last pip on the gas gauge (guess gauge) starts flashing, the single beep can be startling. Enjoy the car.
We're waiting delivery of our '07 pkg 5, sliver mica pine. Can't wait. We made an all cash deal for $25.000 strait up. We dickered on the extended warrantee, (something I wouldn't buy in most cases, but the exotic nature of the car, plus the "don't use it, get paid back" deal and I plan on driving the car 'till it drops, the idea of max protection sounded good). This is the only brand new car I have ever bought, (I'm in my mid fifties!) an probably the only one. I have know idea if I negociated well or not, never having done it before. Anyone have an opinion, Icarus
