Joe and I have been having some problems with our volkswagon.  It is out of warranty and last year we had to put $2,500 in repairs into it.  A couple weeks ago we decided to go looking.  We were thinking we would get a new car in the spring.

Joe did some research and found out we could get a trade in on the VW and the loan that we could get would make the payments the same as the VW.  Well $5 more. So we went looking at the Toyota dealership and test drove a Prius. We have been wanting one for a couple years.  Me especially.  Want to do our part with helping the environment as well as save money on gas.  We were also thinking of our time traveling.  The Prius gets such excellent gas mileage!  We would be able to drive to PA or to FL and not have to fill up on gas till we get there.

The Pruis gets 51mpg highway and 60mpg city.  It was weird seeing that on the sticker.  That a car gets better gas mileage in the city then highway.

So this past Saturday we put our order in for a Prius.  We were originally going to go with the Seaside Pearl.  But we looked at it again and it looks sort of purple in the light.  We saw the silver pine mica which is a silvery green color.  Really love that color so ended up ordering it!  I always wanted a green car and this isn’t too green.  I was thinking I would get sick of the blue after awhile.  And we already have a blue Scion.

Really looking forward to taking our first road trip in it!  This is a car we are going to have for years to come.
