2008 Barcelona Red #4

barrybud · 03-27-2008, 03:31 AM

Hi All,

First post here.

Date Ordered: 03/01/2008
Dealer Ordered From (Incl. City/State):New Holland Toyota, New Holland PA
Timeframe given for delivery: Unknown
Color: Barcelona Red
Option Package: Base with #4
Your # on Dealer's Waiting List: N/A

I just got the call on 3/25 that the car arrived at the dealer that was making the trade for me with New Holland. It seesm that the Red with the grey interior is a rare bird in the North East part of the country. They were going to get the car and I will take delivery Friday afternoon.

My current car is a Caddy CTS (03) that is getting 24.4 MPG so I am in for a few big changes. A few people thought I was crazy, and I would never be happy with a Prius after the CTS.

You will be very happy the first time you get double the mileage you are getting with the CTS.

Well I got it. The dealer tells me I ordered mine just in time. They now have none on the lot and most must place factory orders.

Here is a few pics. One of the puppy checking out Dads new wheels.

Nice puppy. How big will he be when he is fully grown?

Congrats on your new Prius! After about 2 days you'll wonder why you kept your other car as long as you did. I went from 15 mpg to 45 and am loving life. My Prius is 2 weeks old and is the same color combination, had no problem finding it here in RI fortunately. I've gotten lots of compliments on the color, though!
