    Just wanted to take a moment to thank PriusChat for all of the AWESOME information in helping me make the decision to purchase a 2010 Prius (II). I also wanted to thank Dianne Whitmire - who I went to see for the purchase my Prius. She is wonderful to work with - honest, genuine, and no pressure. Best car buying experience ever!!!

    And Dianne... my best wishes and respect for your son who is serving our country.

    Did a 36 month lease (15K annual miles) on base Pruis - with payments of about $250. Practically nothing down. I'm comfortable with residuals, and I'm guessing cash price would have been in 21.5 to 22K range.

    But for me it was less about price and more about dealing with someone honest and without pressure at all. And I drove from San Diego to do this deal.

    Thanks guys... I just spoke to my son this morning. :)He's a Lance Corporal in the Marine Corps and has been in Afghanistan since early May. He's getting home just after Thanksgiving... am so relieved to hear from him!

    Thanks for your kindness and acknowledgment of his service. That's really sweet.

    And, Steve, thank YOU for the nice words. I hope you enjoy the heck out of your car! It was a really nice morning meeting you! I appreciate your business!
