[Pc_Support] Toyota Prius ...

[Patrick]

We bought a Honda CR-X n December.  Seriously considered other vehicles, 
including those hy-brids, but, this all wheel drive gets better mileage than 
our 1995 Honda Civic Del Sol, while being larger, so it can carry three 
children in the back seat!  And it has lots of room for groceries!

When it was all done, we paid $14,000, (no trade-in), for a used 2003 model, 
that included a 7 year warranty, Honda Certified, for 100,000 miles, with 
bumper to bumper warranty including the wipers and tires, for the first year, 
or 30,000 miles.

Courtesy Honda, Rhinehart road, just off of I-4 in Sanford.  I had been a 
motor vehicle dealer, in Florida, for several years, in the 1980's/1990's, 
selling over 100 vehicles each month, and,  have never seen a more fair and 
better managed dealership.  I have never seen as good a customer service 
program, either!  

I supose any of the Courtesy Chain of dealers might  have as much integrity, 
honesty, and service!  So, I would recommend that you ALSO search those 
dealers, to find a  good deal, because you might get a better choice, and 
they can 'order up' any car, in any color, from their inventory at any 
dealer, nationwide!
