Date Ordered: 1/20/04 Dealer Ordered From (Incl. City/State): Atlanta Toyota, Atlanta, GA Timeframe given for delivery: 8-12 weeks Color: Black Option Package: Package #9 Your # on Dealer's Waiting List: #6, only person on list requesting Package 9 I wasn't planning on buying a Prius until June anyway, but after reading Priuschat, I decided to go ahead and place my order so that my car would come around that time anyway! So I do not expect my car within the 8-12 weeks that I was told, but will be happy receiving it early to mid-year. Until it comes, Kevin
That's funny...I ordered from the same dealership back in December,,,I was told it would be June 2004 before I would get one. I requested either a pkg 8 or 9 in ANY color. I assume you are talking about the one in Sandy Springs on Roswell Road? But, I might have one by Monday...I found a guy in Chatt, TN that is selling his Seaside Pkg #8.
I would suggest you ask the dealer where you are on "the list" overall; not just of those ordering the same package as you. Reason being, someone ahead of you who ordered a #7 (you ordered a #9) will get the call before you to have the option of taking the #9. FWIW.
Galaxy, Was your deposit there refundable? and how much was it? I am #6 on the list, according to them, regardless of package. Kevin
My deposit was refundable and was $500. I just called 5 minutes ago to get it back since I did in fact the pkg #8 from the guy in Chatt, TN yesterday...
Ah ok, I just looked, its actually Atlanta Toyota in Duluth on Pleasant Hill Road that I place my order at. I think I had called the other place before and they told me $500 refundable, so that explains the difference. Thanks! By the way, by the time I had looked into the place you placed your order at, they had 20 on the list and getting 2 cars a month, so they told me expect a wait until December 2004! Kevin
It's finally here! Ordered 1/20/04 and took delivery on 4/1/04. I can honestly say is was the best and most unique driving experience I've ever had. I love this car! Stay patient everyone, it is definitely worth the wait. Kevin
