Date Ordered: 1/17/2004 Dealer Ordered From (Incl. City/State): Northbrook, IL Timeframe given for delivery: 6 months Color: Millennium Silver Option Package: 9 Your # on Dealer's Waiting List: 36 I just found out my waiting list number yesterday. 36...sheesh. Well, at 2 allocations per month, with, say, an average of 1 or 2 Prii (?) per allocation--hmm, is that 12 months? My dealer and her manager were both optimistic that 6 months was a good, conservative estimate. We'll see, I guess. Just gives me more time to save up for the downpayment. Jared
Probably doesn't mean much, but the web site for Northbrook Toyota is showing a couple of 2004's in inventory (probably g o n e, though!). FWIW, I spoke with a salesman from Libertyville Toyota a few weeks ago and he said they were telling customers they couldn't guarantee anyone placing an order after that time would get an 04.
Cars in stock Yes, I saw that on their website before I went in for the test drive. And they do actually have two Prii--but they are not for sale--they're only for test driving, on loan from somewhere(?). I drove the Salsa Red one, which didn't have Package 9 (which I have ordered). The Millennium Silver one supposedly does have Package 9.
My dealer also has a Salsa that's used for test drives and it isn't a package 9 either. I can't help but wonder why a dealer would use a Silver BC for test drives considering the huge demand for that color/package combo.
