    I've been lurking around for quite a while wishing, hoping, dreaming, despairing, so I'm not exactly a Newbie anymore. No more of that, though, because I finally was able to sell my car yesterday and get my Prius today! '08 Touring, Pkg. 6, Spectra Blue Mica!

    Well done, and a great package.

    That reads a little gay doesn't it?

    Congrats! I'm still in the hoping/dreaming stage. Still trying to convince the hubby that the Prius is the only way to go.

    I had the same issue, but eventually won him over. What are his objections?

    ERoxie, I bought a Prius about 1 month ago. The lease on my SUV (ugh) was ending, and I looked at a few different cars--I wasn't looking at the Prius when I started.

    After I got my Prius home and we drove in it a bit, my husband said, "Congratulations. You got the perfect car." If your husband hasn't been inside a Prius or seen one close up, that will probably change his mind.

    Thanks! I am getting lots of compliments on it, and I have to give my hubby credit for that as he selected the color. Personally I didn't much care as long as I got the car!

    Big congrats!

    The funny thing with my purchase was my wife convinced me to go look at Hybrids on a Friday. The alternative dealer had pulled A car (non hybrid) off the showroom floor and onto the lot for an early morning Saturday pick up/sale. The only reason I bought the Prius is because my alternative dealer (salesperson) was off on Friday. Otherwise I would have followed through. That'll teach him to take a day off. I love my Prius, and my wife will not let me forget it. :humble:

    Enjoy your pay raise (saving gas $$$$).

    I am! I was down to two pips on the gas gauge so this morning I went to fill up for the first time since getting the Prius. Only $26 (and some change) which is less than half what it cost to fill up my previous car!
