Hello All! New 2010 Prius Owner...

Hey everyone,

I am an Arkansan that is happy to be the proud owner of a 2010 silver prius package III w/ leather.

Unfortunately, I cannot attach any pictures, although I am certain that you all have seen this car many, many times before.

The reason I cannot attach pictures is because it is being trucked up from Louisiana, but it should arrive early next week.

I will soon let go of the reins on my 2004 subaru forester xt that I love. I am excited about the learning adventure that a prius will bring, and am practically going to be paying the car payments with the money saved in gas...

I got the 2010 because it had 0% financing. I paid MSRP, which I dont mind as I wouldve had a high interest rate on a 2011.

This all seems to make sense to me even though I am still in shock from putting money down and not having the car to drive around. I am weary of the situation, but the dealership is great and I am sure that if anything is awry, they will come to and fix it for my wife and I.

A little about myself...I live in little rock and am attending the medical school here for a degree in physiology and biophysics...its fun, but I want to go to the school of medicine as I dont think I want to teach anymore...

Anyways, I hope the silver turns out to be a nice color, I wanted white, but the 2010 they had in texas sold before they could arrange a dealer trade.

I am preparing to call them and have them "update the computer?" to fix the braking issues. I have also read that it is nice to have the reverse beeper disabled...although I dont recall hearing anything when I reversed the prius on a test drive.

Finally, I hope this finds all of you well. I hope to be an active member of this community and learn how to get the most out of this car as it is the biggest purchase I have made to date.

 

well thanks for the reassurance. haha...
