Any prius owners Age 25 or younger here???

Purchased my Pious back in October '06 ('07 Touring Pkg 6) when I was 23 and I'm 24 now so I guess I fall into your bracket

My only rough spots so far have been dealing with Roseville Toyota's service department but that isn't the vehicle's fault. They felt the need to argue with me over how much oil to put in it and what tire pressures to leave it at... argh! I wish I could have held onto that survey until after the first service interval :mellow:

 

well i'm 24. DH is 28 so he doesn't fit i guess. i was 22 when we got the car.

the financial background, at the time and at current, is not true for us. we never have made much money but we have always been very conscious of where it goes. we always think of long term cost when buying something. we've done very well for ourselves, i think, considering what we have to work with.

educational background is true in my case, since i'm about 2 years away from a phd. (this is also one reason we don't have any money! :lol but DH hasn't done any formal education since high school. he has gone far in his field with certifications and such, but that doesn't count as education.

Congratulations on keeping your priorities straight. Now, if I could just make myself eat less.

Im 20, bought my used 2005 about two months ago. I am a college drop out but that doesnt mean a thing to me. I also had no help purchaing the prius (meaning no co-signer , or loan). I decided that i was only going to buy a hybrid or complete electric vehicle. I also bought it because i found out about "EV Mode" and the fact that people were adding accessories to the prius, plus i am a pretty techinical guy and love technology.

Around town i only see people in there 40's driving the cars, but what do i care, i may be young by i think i have an "old soul" what ever that may mean to you .

My friends now want one, and always want to drive it. Also i am starting to see them in very large numbers after purchasing my. Since i have owne it there have been two occasions where i pull up to two other priuses at the stop light.

 

I was 24 when I bought my Prius (I'm 27 now). It's funny because my local paper wrote a story about me when I bought mine saying I was the "typical hybrid owner" since I was a 20-something computer programmer. My best friends at work are in their 30's and wouldn't buy a hybrid if their lives depended on it. They're all about speed and couldn't care less about fuel economy.

 

I am a 21 year old male community college student and I bought my used 2005 about a month ago.

 

I'm a 25 year old college undergrad and soon-to-be grad schooler. I haven't seen any other college kids driving Prii around here yet, save for some of the GTAs and professors on campus. Either way, I get tons of questions from my peers, who are mostly a few years younger than I; I even convinced one kid to test drive a Prius, so hopefully he enjoys it enough to buy and join La Revolucion!

 

The wife just turned 24. We bought a pre-owned '04 Prius last week, I'm the primary borrower this time though - she was the primary last time on her PT Cruiser (god, I hated that car - it was purple too ). For some reason we keep getting cars the week of her birthday. I'm 32 with just a tad of college, the wife completed much more but doesn't have a degree, we still do alright. I work IT for a courthouse, she's the facilities admin. for The Pampered Chef.

 

21.

 

I'm a male in Seattle. Just turned 23. I love my car, traded in a 17mpg Hyundai Santa Fe (even with negative equity) for it. I'll be happy when it's paid off, but in the mean time... this car is FUN and I enjoy it immensely

 

When I was 25, Prius didn't exist. Gas was $.50 a gallon. I've been 25 more than once!

 

My wife says that I have the maturity of an 18 year old . . . does that count?

Had turned 24 a month before buying an 04 Prius. Now at the lively age of 26. There was another college student that a Prius on campus, but I believe she graduated. All of the rest in town seem to be either middle aged or elderly.

In other words, not many below 25 in Lubbock.

oh yeah i got mine at age 24, now i'm 25..lovin' it and the friends are jealous!

 

I'm 25 and bought a 2002 Prius. The wife and I fully intend on adding another one to the family at some point down the road.

 

Almost bought one at 25 but expanded my business instead with CAD/CAM and laser welders.
of course I drove a vette around at that time too.
now at 29 with a baby on the way I decided I needed to get a prius 4 doors room for kids etc.

Ironicly since I have gotten my prius the vette has only left the driveway 3 times

everyone says I look 23, does that count?


Congrats to all who are under 25 and can afford it new. I hate to say it but most of my friends from high school still have the same jobs they had in high school...but with college debts. OUCH!

 

I'm 23, got my '06 Prius new about a year ago when I was 22.

 

Got my Prius when I was 19.
Nearly 21 now.

Still have years to go before paying it off, but it's worth every penny.
