    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.

    First, someone else has posted that Sunnyvale has a long wait. There are many other dealerships out there. 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 ?

    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.

    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 -:)
