    Hi all, just joined and will be buying my Prius next week. Deciding between Super White and Millenium Silver both #4 AM packages if I remember correctly. I would love the NAV and phone connection, but fear I would not use either that much. Anyways, from Richmond, VA. Glad I found you all on the web.

    Dave.

    Hi Folks!
    Brand new Prius owner here.
    Ordered 6-02 expecting a 2 month wait and drove home 6-04! Salesman ordered for a customer and The deal fell thru. Offered the car to me. (Guess it helps that I am a Toyota tech at the dealership!)

    I am ready to sing the Prius Praise!

    Las Vegas Nevada.

    2005 Salsa Red Pearl Package 6.

    Had 4 miles on it when delivered. Now has 385 just driving around to get use to it.

    Added so far: Dark window tint and a set of 17 inch Scion TC rims and tires.

    Steve

    Sounds like a great Prius...I'm jealous right now, but I don't have too much longer to wait. Hope you're enjoying it. I donated 5 points to ya for your first post, since Canuck was nice enough to do the same for me a few posts up...I figured I might as well do the same for someone else.

    Dave.

    galaxee ,
    Thanks for the welcome! I do get the discount but can't think of anything else I want to add. The car is loaded so I will have to see what other goddies I can find. Rims and tires were new takeoffs and I got those for $400.00. I looked up the tire price and it was $160.00 for each tire from Discont tire so I thing I got a great deal there.



    Hybrid_Dave ,
    You will love it when you get it. And thanks for the points!
    (Going to look and see what the points are for! ) :roll:

    I traded my 2002 Camry XLE for a 2005 Silver BC

    Mods are: ComforTreds, covered the underside of the hard part of the cargo cover with "brushed silver" plastic so I'd stop getting it dirty, a black-and-burgundy Wheelskin steering wheel cover, as many beeps disabled as I could, but added a real backup beeper you can hear outside the car, brighter backup lights, brighter interior lights, retroreflective safety material on doors and hatchback that's visible when open, mud guards. I'm planning on pretective film for the pain and headlights, and maybe window tinting.

    I love my Silver Cloud.[/font:8ae4e61531]

    New 2005 Millenium Silver base model. Coudn't resist purchasing it in late April 05 when I found it available on a local Toyota lot.
    First tank 52.5 mpg. Current tank 49.5 mpg due to MANY short trips
    1650 total problem free miles so far. We love this Prius. 8)
    Prior vehicle - a 1993 Dodge Grand Caravan which we are keeping until we find out how much (or how little) we still use it. So far our old Caravan gets used very little.
