In the Club

Well, I went into my dealer on Saturday to just look and finally test drive a Prius. Always been interested, started getting more so as my Golf diesel was pushing 90K and the fact that diesel is nearly $.70 a gallon more expensive than regular - and my mileage wasn't what it used to be (and no mechanic could tell me why).

Anyhow, we went in with absolutely no intention of buying. 4 hours later, we drove home with a Classic Silver #3 with custom leather & heated seats on order! The sales team at Broadway were great. Made it a bit too easy to part with my money - but I think I got a good deal, a nice value on my trade-in, and a really sweet new car!

So I'm happy to be a part of the club finally. I'm sure I'll be hanging around here as I learn the ins-and-outs of my new toy!

 

Thanks for the welcome everyone! Yeah, it was a bit of a shocker to be able to drive away. A bit sad though as we never had time for a proper goodbye to our beloved little Golf - a little trooper who rarely let us down.

The heated leather seats were a bit pricey (1800), but I was very impressed with the quality and feel of the leather. Seemed much thicker than the factory leather, and a lot softer. Definitely made the car seem so much more luxurious! I've had heated seats for so long now (Volvo, VW) that I just couldn't imagine not having them. The seats are done by a local company and the color choices and combinations were quite amazing. Kept it simple and went with a factory match, so they should blend in nicely.

thanks again and I look forward to participating! And Bill, I'll definitely check out the local group.
