    Hi all, my name is Beth. I bought my first Prius in 08 and then got a wild hair in Feb of 10 when I went in for an oil change on the 08 and came home with a new 2010. Yeah, hubby was a bit stunned, but I couldn't not have the new body style!!! Yeah, Lame. I know.

    Anyways, I have recently begun having some issues and did some online searching and found this place. So, to avoid bogging down the newbie forum, I will post my issues with my prius elsewhere.

    Sorry, I just like the humorous aspect of "Honey, I'm going to get the oil changed"...then returning with a whole new automobile.

    So next time the oil change comes up is your husband going to trust you? My bet is he takes it in, or at least goes with you.

    I mean I used to get angry at Jiffy Lube for the constant attempts at upcharging but I never left with a whole brand new vehicle.
