Hey Folks, Just a quick recommendation to any of you who live in SoCal and who are thinking about buying or leasing a Prius. You should consider working with Dianne Whitmire at Toyota of Manhattan Beach. I am not related or in any way beholden to Dianne, but I had such a positive experience working with her that I thought I'd pass it along. Not only was the price more competitive than what I got from dealerships in San Diego (I leased a Prius III for $279 tax included, with $650 driveoff), but I received an extensive overview of the car without any sense of "being sold." Dianne is a great advocate of a great car, and she will treat you right. I would not be surprised if many other people have posted similar comments. -Brian
