    Also try Carmax in Laurel MD. Easiest car pickup I ever did and I came from 300+ miles away to get the car.

    Well, my first attempt to buy a new Prius failed. After negotiating with a dealer, we agreed on that price with options and colors I wanted. The car had to be picked up from another dealer, which I knew was going to happen. I left the dealer and asked them to text me the VIN when it came in. Later in the day the dealer sent me the VIN, I looked it up and found it but it didn't have the options listed on another dealers website. I asked the dealer I made a "deal" with to verify that the Prius had the options I wanted. After 20 or so minutes he texted me back and said it did not. He also stated that he didn't know I wanted that package. I will try again this weekend with a different dealer to buy the car I want. Hopefully it will have a better outcome. I finally decided on a Prius III with the Solar Roof package.

    Upgrade Entune if it doesn't have the latest version (2.1.1).
