    I've never bothered removing myself from the Vandergriff Toyota mailing list. To my surprise, I recieved the following email. Nothing about it surprises me, but I'm posting it as my little effort to inform the world that Vandergriff Toyota is a bad, bad, place.

    Manny,

    As you know, the 2004 Prius is almost impossible to find. Our owner just purchased 7 Pre-Owned Prius to help fill the void. Here is a list of what we will have by as soon as this afternoon! Unfortunately none of these have navigation, but these are some great and amazing cars!

    Millennium Silver Metallic - 6,759 miles - $27,500.00

    Driftwood Pearl (Beige/Tan/Gold) - 12,025 miles - $25,650.00
    Salsa Red Pearl - 13,737miles - $26,400.00
    Salsa Red Pearl - 9,041 miles - $27,250.00
    Tideland Pearl (Green) - 13,442 miles - $25,900.00

    Totally unbelievable! I hope that Toyota takes notice and removes Vandergriff from their hybrid program.

    Sure wish that I lived in Texas so that I could elect not to give them my business.

    But it comes with Lusterizing Sealant! and five little pieces of carpet for the floor and trunk! Surely that's why you should pay $30,000 for a $20,000 car!

    Well, with package #4 it is really a $23,000 car. I find it deplorable that they force all those add-ons like wheel locks and glass break sensor, stuff no one would want. Who needs wheel locks, you can't steal the Prius w/o a flat bed truck. "Custom stripe?" I don't want that, whatever it is, sound like a decal.

    Heck, I paid a dealer premium and my package #9 was $600 less sticker than that package #4. Though judging by those pre-owned prices, I could sell it tomorrow for $30,000.

    Anyone interested in a driftwood package #9 can e-mail me. Only 2,500 miles!
