Picked up my '06 Driftwood with Package 5 (HI) yesterday. I've only driven it about 20 miles but I love it already. Today it's snowing. Dare I get my new baby dirty?

I am curious what did you pay for your prius #7 and what was included in you package. I go look at mine tomorrow and want to make sure that I am not gouged at the dealership.

Thanks!

Pickedup my Silver # 7 yesterday(the 7th). Drove around town and some interstate roads. There were 3 bars on the gas guage when I started and about 6 miles on it. The gauge droped to 2 bars at the 89 mile mark. The average is about 43.7m/hr. temps were 37 degrees when I started. I drove about 45 miles the first time. Just got back and the milage is 112. The temp tonight is 30 degrees. Some the the driving was 55-65-70 on interstate, so probably doing ok for first day.

my dealer has apackage 7 in driftwood pearl, added features are backup camera, auto dimming reaview mirror, security enter/exit, toyota protection group, carpets, don't know what else they want to sell it for 29700 and I am wondering whether it is a good deal. I live in SE Florida. From what I can see it looks like they are not adding more to regular price like some dealers.

It all depends if the Toyoguard and mats are worth >$800 to you I guess. Most people on here feel the Toyoguard is a waste of money, and just a cash-cow for the dealerships, so I had my dealership remove it, and all other options, from the car before it hit the port in Jacksonville. But, even with the Toyoguard + mats + delivery charges, you're still $800 over what I get on my calculator:
$21,725 + $5730 (Package 7) + $619 (Toyoguard) + $209 (mats) + $635 (Delivery) = $28,918.
There must be more options yet. Compare to the standard Package 7 here:

I'm also in SE Florida, and am buying it from Toyota of Stuart. It may even be here tomorrow!
P.S. - If you DON'T want all those options, you need to put money down, wait for your spot in line, watch their allocations coming in, and have them remove the stuff you don't want/need:
Toyota of Stuart

Thank you for advice, I went back to the dealer and had a nice talk. You saved me some $$$.

That is funny!!

My new favorite.. Old one was Northwestern at Big Ten basketball games, when they would get pasted with regularity in years past.

SORRY, Not meant to hijack the topic!


I was just called.... my Prius would be in between the 20th & 30th.. I have ordered the MudFlaps & Chassis Stiffening via net & PriusChat. I am going to look at getting the dealer to put them on gratis... If not, I'll install myself
