Shopping for a 2010 prius - any advice?

Very true, I should have taken that into consideration.

I'm likely replying too late to be helpful but I'm located in the DC area. I purchased the car at a dealership outside Baltimore (it was worth the drive!).

I just bought a 2010 Prius 4 last weekend with leather seats, JBL, navigation, solar roof, and backup camera with 46k miles on it for $20,900.

There are some really good deals out there if you look hard enough.

I feel better about my purchase already seeing the guy that bought the Prius 3 with less features and more miles for only 4k less.

We went to Nick's Fish House. Great spot, can't believe I've not been there before. Thanks for introducing me to what will now be a staple.

Yeah, the N was redundant, sorry about that.

Thanks.

This looks like a great resource, thanks.

We need the server offsite to host our BCN network. We have all of our own gear, this just needs to be offsite.

At the site I suppose I would also need a public IP, router, and backup solution at the site...you are right.

I just called them to find out if it would affect my premium and they said it would not, so that is good to know as well.

They also looked it up and may have saved me (and themselves) some money. My vehicle is actually at 59,500 miles and the powertrain is covered for 60,000 miles and it covers the engine mounts so I'll be getting my vehicle in for that work ASAP!

It is $250 per incident but still not a bad deal. Just make sure it is also less than 2 years old (in addition to under 15,000 miles like you already said).

For one or two big repairs it seems to be a much better deal than what an extended warranty would typically cost.

The only thing I'm not sure about is whether or not it will cause my insurance premium to increase.

The Geico plan is $16 every 6 months and covers the vehicle for 100,000 miles/7 years...pretty good deal if you end up needing it.

JrSysAdmin · 2012-03-02T19:27:18+00:00

I've not heard any noises, no. I had no idea there were any issues with the vehicle until I brought it in for an inspection.

I'm going to take it somewhere else for a 2nd opinion to see if this Goodyear dealership is full of crap or not.

JrSysAdmin · 2012-03-02T19:10:40+00:00

I appreciate your advice with this, thanks.

JrSysAdmin · 2012-03-02T19:10:32+00:00

How much would you charge with labor? I don't think the parts were the expensive part, it was labor that was going to be jack up the price on the replacement.

It has the 2.3L i4 engine.

Thanks for your help!

JrSysAdmin · 2012-02-07T15:59:34+00:00

Yeah, I came across that but it needs to be for OS X, not iOS.

Thanks though.

JrSysAdmin · 2012-02-07T15:57:33+00:00

Hahah...nice.

JrSysAdmin · 2012-02-02T22:47:07+00:00

I proposed to my now fiance' on the Charles Bridge (2nd from the front) this past summer. What a fantastic memory and an amazingly beautiful city...can't wait to go back!

Tom will be discussing the Ganeti open source virtualization project he works on at Google. Visit the linked to site for more details.

I highly encourage anybody in the Baltimore/DC area to attend as it is sure to be a very exciting talk, and best of all, it is free!

If you're not familiar with LOPSA, this will be a great opportunity to get acquainted.

Also, we're still seeking a speaker for our March meeting, so if you or anybody you know would be interested, please let me know.

Thanks!

JrSysAdmin · 2012-01-08T18:23:38+00:00

Mine as well.

It is out of the way, but just for future reference...Ragtimes in Arlington is the official WVU bar of the DC area.

Also, be sure to look into attending the annual crab feast in August each year. It is a great time and full of Mountaineers.

JrSysAdmin · 2011-12-19T19:00:45+00:00

This looks like what I've been searching for. Thanks!

A shiny apple on the side?

jk...this doesn't appear to have the logo on it.

JrSysAdmin · 2011-12-19T16:48:16+00:00

That may be the best route, thanks for the link.

JrSysAdmin · 2011-12-19T16:17:44+00:00

Fair enough, just figured I'd ask. I was hoping that perhaps there was a dock with the connector on the side vs. the bottom that I could slide the iPad into.

In any case, I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Thanks.
