Another "Hello" from Switzerland

M · 01-23-2005, 10:04 AM

Hi all,

received my Prius two days ago. I had to wait 7 months, but given my Toyota dealer told me I have to wait 11 months when I subscribed the contract, I consider it as a "fast" delivery

I'm completely happy and got already a list of people who would like to drive it once.

I still need some more km to drive the Prius with less fuel as possible. I only got 50 km so far so there still a lot to discover.

See you on the streets of Geneva!

That list will continue to grow, and the common experience that I have is that people are pleasantly suprised.

However, my wife seems to be developing a penchant to getting into it.

It has happened twice now.

Welcome to the group, M, and congratulations on your 'fast' delivery.

I'm sure you will enjoy driving your Prius as much as you're friends will enjoy riding in it. And you'll find that you even enjoy teaching them about it.

There are several threads and documents that are excellent for new owners. Start in the Knowledge Base and the Files sections. Then, befriend the Search page. And please don't be shy to post all your questions.

Hi - "M" ...

ENJOY your new Prius ! Do you see many other Prii in Switzerland?

We will be in Bern June 15-19 for the International Church Music Festival after a brief visit to Innsbruck and Lake Lucern. As you would expect, we will be on the lookout for Prii while there.

M,
A coworker of mine is relocating to Zurich / Zug for a year-long project (probably 18 months!). He's already convinced that I'm tapped into this whole international Prius cult. Sometime, if possible, I would love to somehow arrange something that would blow his mind. The ultimate would be to somehow have you bump into him and say, "the Prius continuum says hi".

As an American living abroad, he will no doubt have some problems until he gets accustomed. If you know someone in Zurich / Zug who would like to meet a fun-loving professional male and help him fit in a little better, send me a private message and we can work something out.

Give it time, Victor. He's in for a yearor more of extensive international travels. It won't be long before he's in or near Munich.

Well, then I must be the lucky guy!!! (or let's just say I did my homework).

I started looking for a Prius in January and noticed that some Swiss webpages advertised toyota dealers who claimed to have them.

I finally got serious about 3 weeks ago and It took me one week to call the dealers in Lausanne and surrounding areas and find the one I wanted (Premium Pack 2) in Payerne, and one week to do the paperwork to change my old leasing and buy the new car. I drove it the same day I signed (last week) and I will go tomorrow to pick it up (they said there is a new law that imposes a 10 day wait before they can actually give you the car once you sign the leasing contract).

So guys... tomorrow I should be a very happy man

. It's been the longest week of my life!!!

Great! Welcome aboard from abroad.
How long have you been at PriusChat? Did you just find it or have you been 'lurking' for some time?
