    Hello All,
    After considering a Prius for a while, I recently purchased a 2010 pkg 2. It has 86k miles with a few additional options. It was serviced regularly at a Toyota dealer. However, the exterior was a little rough from being parked outside. So far it has been washed, clay bar, engine detail, interior cleaned, wheel covers removed & Home Depot $4 caps installed.
    I really like this forum, as they are full of helpful owners with lots of good knowledge. So thanks in advance for all of my newbie questions.

    Welcome! I would refrain from cleaning the engine. There are many electronic parts in there that shouldn't be exposed to water.

    Thanks for the warm welcome. After driving the Prius for a few days, the spousal unit and myself are wondering why we waited until now to buy a Prius. Even with the mileage, it feels like a new car. We are very happy so far.

    Note
    - We have kept it away from the flames so far.
    - There are lots of Prius in SD.
    - Keeping the shining side up is the easy part; doing that on a motorcycle is a bit harder.
