    My car should be at the dealer by the end of the week! Cleaned out the 2009 after work tonight and I am ready to trade her at any time!

    I placed my order in the beginning of April.

    Woohoo! Just got confirmation that my c3 caught a boat out of Japan on the 10th and should be ready to pick up by Memorial Day. That'll be a couple days over a month since I put down my deposit.

    It takes about 10-12 days to cross from Japan :) at least yours doesn't have to travel as far from port!

    Good to know, thanks! Hopefully it will come into Portland but Cali isn't bad from Seattle either! Eeeeek it's been about 4 1/2 weeks just want the other 3-3 1/2 to fly by and for it to be here!

    What is the base price per each model and what are buyers actually paying? Is there a mark up due to high demand or is there deals to be made out there? Thanks:D

    You will find some dealers trying to mark them up ridiculously but most people are paying right at MSRP or a little below. I paid about 200 below. If you get on the Toyota.com website and build one.. it will tell you how much each trim's base is without any options. Most of them come with some option or another, even if it is just floor mats or bumper protectors it seems to me.

    Soon to be a Prius-Noob. I have been a lurker on the forum for several weeks, just joining couple of days ago. We just put deposit down on a Prius C (Model 3/Magnetic Gray Metallic/Moonroof package) yesterday. Dealership said that it looks to be 3-4 weeks out, on the dock waiting to get loaded. My biggest factor in my decision was price and gas mileage. Was seriously looking at the Honda Fit in March until I saw the Prius C pictures in Consumer Reports and quickly changed my mind. We have been a Toyota family for a long time (Celica, Tercel, Corolla, and Sienna). Looking forward to adding the PC3 to the family.
