Date Ordered: 9 April 2004 Dealer Ordered From Scott Nichols Motors, Silver City, New Mexico Timeframe given for delivery: was 2-3 months at first, then went to 6 months. Then it arrived waaaaaay early! Color: White Option Package: 9 Your # on Dealer's Waiting List: One, I guess; they didn't have a wait list when I ordered. YIPEE
It's just great! Took the long way home to Albququerque to visit some friends along the way, approx. 350 miles trip, averaging 50.5 mpg. I was prepared for less on the maiden voyage with some steep hill climbing and the related altitude changes, but the mileage only dropped below 50 mpg as I had to use the a/c in the afternoon. Great car, it just needs a sunroof, which I really miss from my other cars. I will be asking local dealers about what can be installed.
You're lucky you didn't get a Salsa #9. Bigbaldcuban is not that far away from you. He has been waiting 5+ months for a Salsa #9. Had you got one, and he knew about it, I fear your toenails would already be gone. :guns: :guns:
That's why I changed from being a priuschat lurker to priuschat "lucky". May Bigbaldcuban get his Salsa #9 earlier than expected too
