Default OK, All Prius-heads from Lawn Guyland raise your hands!

ok, here is the first post in the Long Island forum. i' in Babylon and hope to have my prius next week, driving it home from WV.

Since we are geographically small, maybe we will have opportunities to exchange info that will be useful, like which dealers actually know what they are doing when servicing the prius, etc.

Welcome to all, let's have some fun!

Congratulations on picking up your new car and enjoy the ride home. It will be unforgettable!! I purchased my car up in Connecticut and have had it serviced (oil change etc) at two places in CT and the the New York Inspection performed at the Toyota Dealer in Riverhead.

I am searching around for a dealership that I am comfortable at before I get the 40D performed. I am looking for a dealer that has performed this numerous times before they attempt it on my car.

When you get home from WV make sure that you contact the State and see if they extended the Sales Tax refund policy. See other posts for the details.

Good luck and again, enjoy the ride!

i wonder if i will need to have the 40d recall done on mine buying it now? i suppose i can research in on here easily enough to find out... first things first.

the dealer i like that is relatively near me is oakdale. i still actually have an order in there but will cancel it now. they were very nice but i will get a kick out of driving out to cancel in the prius.

anyway, they have always been nice when i have been there, and their service dept is open on saturdays, a plus.

Sure, I'll go to one of your gatherings. Will you by any chance be driving your red 9 there? :evillaugh:

If not, where will you be storing it? :mrgreen:

I was on LI over this past weekend in aarons12 neighborhood; West Islip for my neice's graduation.

I saw two '04 while on the island. One, a driftwood on the Sagtikos and the other a silver on the LIE. I still can't get over the number of MBs and BMWs; they're everywhere.

yeah, long island, the land of stupid money... people in babylon/west islip paying $700,000 to a mil for houses and then tearing them down to build edifices to themselves, ridiculously oversized for the neighborhood...

some of it is legit, but a lot of it is either over-extended credit or from questionable sources... if my 112 year old business wasn't so firmly tied here, i would be outta here in a sec. i couldn't afford to buy my own house again.

Default Pruis 2004

Hi All,

I've been driving my new fully loaded salsa red pruis 2004 since October 30th 2003 and I love the car. Had a couple of recallings to re-programme the computer but otherwise no problems. I'm notiicing a lot more priuses on the road lately. I guess I got lucky since I placed my order in October and got my car in 2 weeks. I noticed Atlantic Toyota got some new salsa red ones today!

Have Fun!

Mike Weber
