Newish here, and a story from work.

What did the note say? Can’t really make a judgment without knowing that.

 

The reader could take that “an admirer” thing more than one way. If your curious about the car you should just say you would like to buy a Prius and could you ask some questions about their experiences.

 

There was a time when leaving a note on a car was not too bad of an idea. Today, a person can think all kinds of things behind the person leaving the note. Your intention was good. You could do as skibob suggests with another note. It would keep the person from wondering what your true motive is.

 

There was a huge Gen2 Plug-in Prius Hybrid scene on here with lots of startups selling kits back in the day... Toyota liked all the work so much they built their own Plug-in Prius and after that all those startups folded, so you can't buy plug-in kits anymore. But some of those vehicles are still out there. So if you did a thorough search for a year or so you could probably find a plugin Prius to play with.

Of course just spending $3-$4K on an old Prius and learning how to re-condition the battery pack will offer just as much fun as owning an EV, just not as good as gas mileage.

 

i did that with a girl once

 

Welcome to Prius Chat.

One thing Prius owners like to do is talk about their cars. If you can approach a Prius owner at the right time and right place they will tell you all about their car.

 

I speak very highly of the Prius and Toyota .

Where I work now and previously is very set in pick ‘em up trucks.

I’ve been able to get some to Corolla’s and others to Prii.

Where I work currently I’ve converted 3 of my staff to Prii owners, one to a Prime .

Maybe you can find the owner and chat away.

 

Most of us can talk circles around a sales team at your local Toyota Dealership. We know our cars inside and out!

 

I met a Gen4 owner last Sunday to pick up some oil filters.

He had a Gen3, but it got forced off of the road and he had to get a 2017.

Already 35k miles on the 2017.

Always good to talk to another owner.

 

I had to go to the pharmacy earlier this week, there is a restaurant that shares a parking lot with the pharmacy. At the restaurant there were parked a Gen 4, a Gen 3, a Gen 2 and a v. It was kind of strange to see that many Prii in the same place at the same time. I wonder if they are related, or if there is a group in my area that I don’t know about. I can’t go to work or come home from without seeing at least 1 Prius per trip.

 

I have been seeing more Gen 4 in my area lately, now I am not exclusive.

 

As I mentioned before... You can occasionally find a Gen2 converted EV plugin for sale... And I just ran across one... We could be more helpful if we knew your location. I suspect this one is too far North from you, but if you want one: Clean 09 Toyota Prius Plug In Hybrid upto 100mpg - cars & trucks - by owner - vehicle automotive sale
