    Hi. I just bought a used 2008 Prius with 94,089 miles. This is the first car (my fourth) that I have had the luxury of choosing based on what I want and not just what I can buy with cash. The Prius has been my dream car since I was 17 (I am almost twice that now). I. Love. It. I'm just trying to learn everything I can about it so that I can care for it properly and maximize its benefits. Just saying hi. :)

    You are welcome.
    I am still learning my Prius. I just thought some direction in the wealth of knowledge here would be helpful.

    Enjoy your ride.

    I appreciate it! It's like a whole new world! I was nervous buying used but I did tons of research, took it for an inspection beforehand, etc. Hopefully I got a good one.

    Hi everyone

    I just purchased a 2013 Prius 2. I was wondering if anyone can lead me into the right direction to finding a set of used Persona rims. Thx!

    Congrats for your purchase. I do not have a Prius, yet, but bought for a friend today and might be looking for myself soon too.

    I just bought an 08 Prius too! 108k one owner and impeccable maintenance records. Got the touring trim too so definitely enjoying the leather :)

    Curious what did you pay? Mine was $7.2k in southern California and got the dealer to throw in a 3 year/36k extended warranty for free ($1000 otherwise)
