Date Ordered: Oct. 15, 2003 Dealer Ordered From (Incl. City/State) 1: Herb Chambers Toyota, Auburn, MA Dealer Ordered From (Incl. City/State) 2: Westboro Toyota, Westboro MA Timeframe given for delivery: 6-8 weeks (dealer 1), unknown (dealer 2) Color: Tideland Pearl, but told them I'd accept Salsa Red (really my 1st choice now), Tideland, or Seaside Pearl Option Package: BC (firm on this package) Your # on Dealer's Waiting List 1: 2 as of 1/15/04 Your # on Dealer's Waiting List 2: Dealer won't tell me nor does he respond to emails.
Well, got the call today (4.9.04) - my Tideland BC is in! Herb Chambers in Auburn was the dealer that got me the car first - it's actually the exact car I ordered back in Oct. Did paperwork this afternoon, prep will happen tomorrow, and I hope to pick up tomorrow (if they got the paperwork faxed to the insurance company and registry today before they closed). Total wait time from day I ordered until day I picked up (assuming I'll get it tomorrow) - about 6 months.
Congratulations! You are an inspiration to us "newbies" who have been waiting a couple of months or less. BTW, if I can ask, which of the two dealerships did the Prius arrive in, Westboro or Herb Chambers?
