Welcome to FRF. Pictures. Or you really bought a prius. ( I think you set the image to be private ) Fun fact: NoVA has the highest concentration of priussies on the planet. Probably because they get the HOV exemption.

Where did you buy?

gotcha.

So they’re still bitterly clinging to their MSRP or over pricing while the rest of us go elsewhere for better deals... hmm.
I bought in Luray and the market in late ’16 - early ’17 was just stupid.

Any mods planned?

dealer x wanted 15k adjusted mark up on a factory order, and had a (used) red screw that was all scratched up and they asked for 75k for that one, told them to go pound sand and now I go there to get my truck serviced and smile at the sales guy that "couldn't get the deal done"

dealer y was trying to sell 801 package screws for 90k+, ****

there were a couple others that also were playing stupid games but here in NoVA I'm sure someone paid that price...

I've got 2 amber LP9s on a front mount (nfab) which are awesome but I'm trying to find a better front mount, the nfab one feels like its sold as a generic afterthought you might get at advance auto; I'll do a level kit of some kind when I can find a good shop, and thinking about some spd performance things that'll make it suck fuel even more than it already does

Roger that. I actually showed my MSRP offer to (probably the same) dealer x and they basically said, go buy it. So I did. in ’16, MSRP was freakin’ awesome with some paying thousands over, but I cannot imagine that. I know some here on FRF paid ADM but I could not stomach it.

There was only one potential sale in driving distance advertised at 5k over but they wouldn’t quote or negotiate over the phone, email or text and so I wasn’t going to go waste time there getting my chain yanked. Too bad, their truck was closer to what I was looking for but less optioned. Things happen for a reason. Lucille has been great.
