I'm really eager to order a new Prius #4 silver. The problem is that all of dealers I contacted requires at least 6 months of waiting (some said 8+ months). I'm from KS and willing to travel up to KS, IA, MO, CO, OK, TX (of course, the closer to KS, the better). If anyone had good experience in Midwest region, please help me. I really aprreciate it in advance.

He's a super guy, straight shooter, no BS.
BEWARE OF BUYING A PRIUS FROM HOUSTON GULF STATES DISTRIBUTION AREA. THEY ALL COME PACKED WITH UP TO $1,600 IN HIGH MARK-UP "PORT INSTALLED" OPTIONS OF DUBIOUS VALUE. THATS HOW THEY CAN PROUDLY CLAIM THAT THEY SELL AT MSRP.

Mine was a two week wait at Tulsa area dealerships. I think they had some unsold ones on the floor. Briefly. As someone else mentioned this is a Gulf region dealership and they pile on the options, but in my case they said they could be taken off easy- as some options apparently aren't even really put on the car until it hits Houston. I would never advertise a car dealership, as at best they are a bunch of car salesmen; they lie when they smile, and vice versa. But Riverside was as good as any I have dealt with.
