Welcome WV Prius Owners

I know I'm not the only one in West Virginia with a Prius!!! Where are my Mountaineers???

Wow, no one else from WV???

Well, right about now they're making plans for the Sweet Sixteen.

I missed this thread. Yes there is at least one other owner. We are a two prius family. We have an 06 package 2 and had a 07 package 2 that was totaled and replaced with a 08 package 5 . I am still learning all the features of the Nav and phone.

What part of WV are you from?

Greg: Glad to know there is a prius mechanic owner in this neck of the woods. Bristol va/tn mechanic didn't kwnow how to get prius to roll when 12 volt was depleted or to open hatch door.I had to tow 2005 to autobeyours in Ind. to get it started.Wish I knew you were near Don

WOW someone is Princeton! woooooo

Just bought a pre-owned 2003 as my money could afford. 97,500 miles still with original traction battery warrantied for the next 2500 miles or 2 years (2500 miles for me). Any ideas on how I can make the battery die in less than 2.5K miles? (just kidding). Does have new tires (Michelin Hydro edge) and new aux 12V battery. The dealer I bought the car from (here in Charleston) quoted me only $1400 for a new battery pack and $600 for labor to install. From what I have read, that seems quite low. Are the prices on these that low now? Or were they just trying to get me to buy the car? Anyway, I do love the Prius and and a happy newbie even if I may be spending at least 2K in the next 50K miles for a new battery pack.

We have 2 pri too, we should plan a meet sometime. Jim

I think a meet is definately in order!

And we can all go racing!!!!!!!!!! :rockon:

should've seen that coming

Hello WV owners!

I actually live in Raleigh, NC now, but my parents live in Richlands, VA and my brother's family is in Tazewell, VA so I travel through Bluefield/Princeton area when going back and forth and consider the Blue Ridge mtns my "true home'. I'm considering buying a new 2010 Prius, and it occurred to me that I might be better off buying from Ramey Toyota in Princeton, not quite as large and crowded as the dealerships here in Raleigh. Maybe even a little cheaper.

Does anyone have any thoughts/opinions on this?

Due to some prior experiences at Ramey (both our Prii came from there unfortunately) I wouldn't reccomend buying there. I would however, suggest L&S Toyota in Beckley. They are a very friendly/not pushy staff. :rockon:

got my 2010 III a week ago in Fairmont!

wow, just found this...I got my Gen III in July with a little help from C4C
