    I missed this thread. Yes there is at least one other owner. We are a two prius family. We have an 06 package 2 and had a 07 package 2 that was totaled :( and replaced with a 08 package 5 :). I am still learning all the features of the Nav and phone.

    Just bought a pre-owned 2003 as my money could afford. 97,500 miles still with original traction battery warrantied for the next 2500 miles or 2 years (2500 miles for me). Any ideas on how I can make the battery die in less than 2.5K miles? (just kidding). Does have new tires (Michelin Hydro edge) and new aux 12V battery. The dealer I bought the car from (here in Charleston) quoted me only $1400 for a new battery pack and $600 for labor to install. From what I have read, that seems quite low. Are the prices on these that low now? Or were they just trying to get me to buy the car? Anyway, I do love the Prius and and a happy newbie even if I may be spending at least 2K in the next 50K miles for a new battery pack.

    Hello WV owners!

    I actually live in Raleigh, NC now, but my parents live in Richlands, VA and my brother's family is in Tazewell, VA so I travel through Bluefield/Princeton area when going back and forth and consider the Blue Ridge mtns my "true home'. I'm considering buying a new 2010 Prius, and it occurred to me that I might be better off buying from Ramey Toyota in Princeton, not quite as large and crowded as the dealerships here in Raleigh. Maybe even a little cheaper.

    Does anyone have any thoughts/opinions on this?

    Due to some prior experiences at Ramey (both our Prii came from there unfortunately) I wouldn't reccomend buying there. I would however, suggest L&S Toyota in Beckley. They are a very friendly/not pushy staff. :rockon:
