I have the choice to buy a 2006 model from the dealership in my area. Should I just wait for the 2007 models or just take the 2006. Can anyone help or is there a previous thread on my topic. Thanks! PriusBuyer
I considered this as well. My #1 concern is I wanted to be able to take advantage of the full tax credit and didn't think a 2007 would come in before September 30 And as it turned out, I walked into a dealership and bought my Prius off the showroom floor with no waiting!
You might be interested to look at the thread on the 2007 option packages: http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=20768 ... and compare those to the 2006 option packages: http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=11078

You'll be more likely to qualify for the tax credit. Also, the differences between the 06s and 07s seem slim. You wouldn't get the advantage you would've gotten by waiting for the 06 over the 05. Buy now!

Everytime they release a first batch of the next year, they sometimes don't even make the bigger changes till 2007.5. Waiting is always hard but it does pay off if they offer some crazy new gadget (which they won't, hopefully) ^_^ Start saving money now!
