Calling all Aussies and Kiwis !!

Hi all, from Melbourne. I'm here on a business conference. If there are any Prius owners in Melbourne vicinity that would let me see their car, I'd love to. I have a Silver 2005 with nav and the full works (no leather) back in Oregon, USA. I'm in downtown Melbourne at the Crown Tower hotel.

G'day Bill, and welcome to Australia.

I'm not in Melbourne (quite a bit north of there), but if you go back one page, there are 3 Melbourne Prius owners there who you could PM and maybe meet if they check their mail sooner rather than later.

Are you staying only in Melbourne, or will you be seeing any other parts of our Country? If you get up to Brisbane, or the Gold Coast, I'm sure we could arrange to meet up here.

Good to hear from you, and hope you enjoy your stay.

Regards, John.

I'll only be in Melbourne this trip. I hope to get back and go to Brisbane. I'll check back in the thread and PM the Melbourne owners.

Thanks, John and John.

Hi Everyone,

I'm from Brisbane, and now the owner of a 2001 Prius! I did the deal on Monday last week. It was rather difficult to find any of the NHW11 Prius for sale, but it was definitley worth the trouble.

What I didn't realise is that there would be such a big forum for these cars! It's great, I have been reading for hours and still haven't scratched the surface. I think I will go and register for the Australian Prius yahoo group now

John.

Hi John, and welcome to another Brisbaneite!
Were you aware of the Prius car yard (selling only NHW11) at Coorparoo? If not, maybe they would be worth making contact with for future parts needs from Japan?
Regards,
Sleeka.

Hi Sleeka, thanks for the welcome. Yes I am aware of the Prius car yard at Cooparoo. The problem is that they don't sell the NHW11, they sell the NHW10. There is a big difference, even though the two cars look almost the same. Have a look here: Toyota Prius Model History (or maybe don't look if you already bought an NHW10) :P

Hi, John.
I wasn't aware of that until now...thanks for the info. I have an NHW20, and am very happy with it.
Regards,
John.
