My order date is April 8th for Sand (Beige) or silver #5 Or lower. They were offering only #3, 5 , 7 or 8 I think. SO I opted for 3 or 5. No Word yet. I was told last week that I am still 2 months away. I am also open to Gray Any Other experience in bay area please.
First, welcome to PriusChat! Over two months and now they're saying four, with all the flexibility you display? I advise to get on the phone and use lists of Toyota dealers available online. You can probably get a car within 3 days---IF you'll travel a little (and maybe not, in the Bay Area). TONS of dealers, especially if you start, say, in a quadrangle drawn from Eureka to Modesto to Monterey to SF. BTW, Prius has no "sand" color; "Driftwood Pearl" is the closest beige.

Just email around! I got mine from Hanlees Hilltop in Richmond after a month on the waiting list. Walnut Creek and Dublin Toyotas seemed to have more availability as well. You could also try SF Toyota. Second, I'm not sure that #5 is a standard model in California. Might be special order. So a #3 would be much easier to come by. Good luck!
I got a call from this dealer that it will be here by next week-end (1 or 2 days here and there) (This is Silver with Package 6 (HK) Lets see. He has given me some VIN number. (But has only last six digits or so.) I dont know how to convert to real VIN number. Will wait till this guy calls. Question: What tires they come with ? Is backuo camera output a color or Black and white ?
Dealer called me this morning. The car is here. Will crosscheck everything is right (read it as my wife is happy with it ) Will pickup in the evening.
Picked up yesterday night. Runs Cool. The guy was good and explained the working the details of how it works. Believe me: Overall time I walked in to I drove out was over 2 and half hour. More details later.
Good thing is I got my plates in 3 days. The same salesperson called me to give that good news. My plates along with registration and month / year stickers were there. So I picked them up on 30th. (bought car on 27th)! I got the fast trak transponder and now sent the stuff for HOV stickers -
