Hi All. Have been interested in the Prius for quite a long time, and decided if ever there was a time to buy one now was it. I ended up buying a 2009 package 2 at a very favorable price (rebates, aggressive pricing for end of model year). Just picked it up today and am pretty excited about it. Had thought about waiting for the 2010 but figured I would not get as good a deal as the 2010's (this was stretching the budget already), plus being at the end of a 6-year model run the reliability should be outstanding. I posted a thread a few weeks ago trying to figure out if the extra $$ for the Prius would be worth it ( http://priuschat.com/forums/prius-main-forum/59512-hybrid-premium.html ). Your responses really helped me to finalize the decision. Thanks again for your detailed and helpful replies. Thanks all - look forward to learning and sharing.
