When I heard that my car was in this past weekend, I decided to do a little bit of research first. I just wanted to say 'thank you'. Because of the things I learned here - I was able to drive a harder bargain with my trade. I got my '08 Mag Grey pkg #6 for a little over invoice; I was practically given the road hazard package that covers tires, dings, scratches to the body and windshield; and, drumroll please, I got the extended warranty for $600. All I have to say is thank you everyone. All you need is some concrete knowledge about the product you're buying from real people and you must be ready to walk away if it's not to you're satisfaction. They never expect that. Never. That worked for me for my last car purchase. The dealership actually endend up oweing me a few thousand dollars. I couldn't believe it myself! I'm getting the windows tinted now -- and I'm searching for the best prices for some moldings, vent visors, and bumper protector. Any suggestions where to find the best deal? Next will be the stripes.......
Glad that you learned so much from the site. I know that it is a great place to talk with people who know lots about the Prius. Hope you love the car as much as I do.
Congratulations! Don't stop while you are on a roll. Almost every forum has something significant to contribute towards understanding your Prius (except Fred's House of Pancakes). FHOP reveals more information about Prius owners than it does their cars.
