Hi-
I want to trade my Celica in for a Prius, but of course I'm way too impatient to wait the 8-12 months that Champion says I'll have to. I'm traveling quite a bit in the coming months and I'm hoping I can buy one somewhere else and drive it home. I'll even make a special trip just to buy one. Does anyone know of a national inventory source? I will be in Tulsa next week and spoke to two dealerships there, one said they have one in stock now (but can't promise it will be there next week) and the other said they could get one in about 20 days. Of course they could be lying to me to get me in, but I'll call ahead before I go into the dealership.

Thanks for your help!

Hello All, I ordered my Prius August of '05 and became impatient after 6 months. So, like an idiot, I bought a different car in January. It's now the end of May and my Prius is here. You betcha I'm trading my new car in! The dealer's calling me tomorrow to finalize. I'm sooooooo excited. (Red '06, #7 with leather upgrade) I'm in Victoria, TX.

I got my Prius! I got my Prius! I absolutely love it. Someone Congratulate me..... I can't believe no one has responded. Oh well, I got my Prius, I got my Prius!

Congratulations! I know how exiting it is to finally get the Prius. I ordered mine in January and got it May 1st (only after I agreed to take the next Prius that came in without a name on it). Enjoy!

My wife and I just got our 2006 prius 2 weeks ago. We love it! I am starting to get a little concerned with the average 38 mpg in town my wife is getting commuting from South Austin to the Bee Caves and 360 though. How's your mileage looking?

I think we should combine Austin and San Antonio forces along with other adjacent cities to form a club that meets in the flesh. Internet networking can only go so far... there's nothing like good ole' fashioned camaradarie and friendships formed by common bonds. I would recommend we meet once a month or quarter halfway somewhere, e.g. San Marcos. We could discuss Prius developments, tips, civic engagements, or anything else that we couldn't otherwise do virtually. BTW, speaking of civic activities, just a reminder for those who haven't seen dpower's thread asking for support for a Prius rally in Fredericksburg on Sep 22-24--check it out!

Hello,
I'm in north central austin and it is time for my 5000 mile check up. I heard really bad things about Maund, does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations as to where I should take it?
Thanks.

Hey, you guys ought to have monthly meetups, and make stickers that say something like "TXPC" for Texas Prius Club, and then put them on your car. Or register a .com name and put a small sticker with that on the car. Then eventually the community will grow and whatnot.

You know, 100 prius' driving around central Texas with the .com address on them, and word of mouth and whatnot. Yeah yeah, I didn't major in marketing so I don't know what I'm talking about.
