One Prius To The Next

So my car has had break problems since a few days after I bought it and I have taken it to the Bloomington Toyota Dealership twice and another mechanic once to have it checked out.  After taking it to the Toyota Dealership the second time, a week and a half ago, they estimated me just over $3,300 to fix the problem - claiming the hard-hard-to-get-to piece costs $2,500 plus 4 hours of labour.  Upon hearing that and hearing the advice from not only both my parents, but also the Toyota Dealership as well, I took it to the used car dealership that I bought the car from.   They took it in and gave me a loaner car to use until they figure out if they can get the work done cheaper (and hopefully help with the expense) - the Toyota Dealership thought that the problem may not have been known by the people I bought it from and may have been caused by sitting in a lot for a long time (likely prior to the used car dealership buying it).   They gave me a silver 2010 Toyota Prius.  Having this car makes me a lot more thankful for mine (three years newer).    This car heats up a lot when parked outside (as it has a black interior - mine is more white/cream coloured), three of the windows don't work and there are a number of other little things like that.  When the shop gave it to me the did tell me a few things about how the car wasn't finished yet (to be sold that is).  

The used car dealership took it to their mechanic who spent much of last week test driving it to try to repeat the problem.  Finally on Thursday, they were able to successfully repeat the problem.  The shop then called me and told me that they hadn't forgotten about me and they filled me in on this update.  They also said that they have been really busy this week so they haven't had a ton of time to spend on the car.  But they are going to dig into it now and see what it will cost to fix it.  I still have the loaner car - it gets about the same fuel economy as mine does.
