After driving my Prius for more than a year, if I have to buy another car today, it would definitely be another Prius. I have no problem with my insurance rate, which is $100/year more than my previous car Pontiac Vibe.

oldsarg, can you elaborate which kind of engineering problems you are dealing with? Especially on daily base.

[Q]A dealer told me the rebate on the 09 Prius is now 2750. Anyone else hear anything? He said it took effect today! [/Q]
 
Do you mean we can expect to pay invoice price - $2750 + dealer mark up?

any chance to renegotiate finance deal? by hottmusic

I bought a new 09 Prius last week at the 36 month 0% finance deal, only to find out yesterday about the 60 month 0% deal. Has anyone had luck in getting Toyota dealers and/or Toyota finance to rewrite their loan to be able to take advantage of the better deal? I spoke with someone who said there might be a way for the dealer to buy back the car and resell it at the better deal. Any ideas?
 
Thanks

If they buy it back and resell it to you it will be a used car and the 0% probably woulnd't apply. I can't imagine dealers altering deals and the nightmare that would cause them.

Cash for Clunkers by bodomo

does Cash for Clunkers program apply to Toyota Prius??
I am trying to decide between 09 Prius at 0% financing (that is some savings!!)
or to wait for 10 Prius. If I could get Cash for Clunkers for trading in my Toyota 4Runner, that would even be sweeter!

Could you share your OTD price for 09 Prius? What package?
Thanks!

I have posted all of the engineering issues that I have dealt with on the Prius forum which are extensive. The bottom line is I bought the car for good gas mileage only. Since Toyota, Edmunds, the EPA, and many Prius bloggers deliberately lied about the true gas mileage for my 2007 Prius, I feel cheated. I had a German specs 1984 Honda Civic that did get 60 mpg. I bought it 2 years old with over 100,000 miles on it. I drove and punished it on the German autobahn for another 100,000 miles and sold it to a soldier in 1989. He fixed the severe salt damage and was still driving it when I visited him in 1995. There is no comparison to the superior engineering of the Civic in every respect. There are many cars that have been produced throughout the years that get great gas mileage, so why the hype about the Prius?
 
The real issue is that political hacks have touted the Prius as the savior of the world. The fact is, political hacks have very little knowledge about much of anything much less what will save the world. The pursuit of knowledge in a free world without political hacks is the real savior. Try it, you will like it.
