We are picking up our 08 Prius today. My wife really wanted one and I think it was a good idea. There are hardly any Prius's left in our area. All the dealerships are now demanding MSRP due to the recent shortage and very high demand. Fortunately we bought ours when you could still deal on the price. I've been looking through the forum and wow, what a lot of good information! Wishing you all well with your Prius.
Hi BadBob, welcome to PriusChat! :welcome: Check out the local group if you want to drive south. We've met a couple of times in Vancouver too. I haven't picked the location for the May meeting, but I will soon.
I can vouch for the local Portland area Prius/Hybrid owners group Hopefully, some weekend when there is a get-together, we'll be able to make it again!
