Picking up my new Prius Three on Sunday! :-)

I am super exited about becoming a Prius owner this weekend, as I'm sure you can all understand. Even with everything going on in Japan I managed to find a dealer willing to cut a deal on a new 2011 Prius Three, Black with Gray interior, with the only options being the factory Paint Protection Film, Rear Bumper Applique and Carpeted Floor Mats. They offered it to me at $26,247 out the door (about $24,160 before tax). It wasn't easy either; I sent emails to 17 different dealerships and only a few of them were willing to make an actual offer. Most of them weren't willing to talk numbers unless I came down to the dealership, but I'm very busy and don't have the time to go to 17 dealerships. One of them told me they weren't selling for less than $1000 over MSRP, and another mistakenly quoted me on a Two but told me Three through an entire email exchange. It wasn't until he told me it didn't have JBL audio that I corrected him and he fessed up.

So anyway, when I go in I need to have them change the reverse beep to one beep or I'll probably go mad. Anything else you guys suggest I remember to tell them? Any tips or pointers that could make my Prius experience more pleasurable in the time to come? Any quick and easy mods that you suggest? (I'm already thinking about HIDs )

Thanks everyone! I can't wait to be a part of all of this!

 

Wow, the fog light install looks pretty involved. Although it sure would be nice not to have fake plastic fog lights.. (and so it begins)

I actually like to keep the seatbelt beep. My last car, a 2003 Toyota Corolla, just had a flashing light below the radio for the passenger's seatbelt. I can't count how many times people mentioned that it looked like a button and we joked about making it a "Seat Ejector" button . But I do like keeping myself and at least my front seat passenger alive in case of an accident, and an annoying beep would actually help me on that front.

 

Thanks. I already skimmed through that, guess I was wondering if anyone wishes that they got something changed in particular. I had read some of the threads about the reverse beep and never would have thought about how annoying it is without input from others.
