I went driving around to car dealers today. Started with Mark Jacobson where I found they sold 29 Prius's in 3 days. Did not like this lot. Next stop was Fred Anderson because I saw they were getting a Gold Prius on Aug 3. They looked it up and said yes it was coming on Monday. I gave them my credit card for a $1,000 deposit to hold the car. We got a call that the car was unloaded from a truck in the PM and was available. We tried draining the gas from our old clunker but had no luck. We drove the old minivan to Fred Anderson at 7:30 and they did the deal. We paid list price plus a $500 dealer fee which was a rip off but we like the car and like the deal. The clunker program gave us $4500 for our minivan which was worth about $2500 if it was in good shape. It had an oil leak, sticking accelerator and transmission linkage, and bad ball joints causing the car to pull right and wear the tires unevenly. In addition, the power windows didn't work. Dinner was Briyani.
