6 mos. with nothing to show at Northbrook Toyota

Nowhere in sight? Pretty strange, I'd say, after having ordered at the beginning of October and being 11th on the list at that time.

I assume you've moved up on the list, though. Has Northbrook provided you with an update in that regard?

 

Dude, you're scaring me. I ordered a BC silver on about 1/17/04, and last I heard I was around 34 on the wait list. They only asked for a $500 deposit. As far as wait time is concerned, they said six months, as a safe conservative estimate. And here I find you ordered yours almost three months before, supposedly before the huge backlog of orders occurred--and you still don't have it? Yikes.

Maybe I'll get mine by 2006.

May I ask who your salesperson was? Mine was Donna Moll, and she has been very nice.

Sorry, but, "safe conservative estimate"? I mean, that estimate works out to an allocation of close to 6 per month. From the situation Peter described, it certainly doesn't appear as if they're getting anywhere near that many (more like 2 or 3 per month). Of course, one can always hope the situation will improve.

 

I'm scared too.... I placed my second deposit at Northbrook Toyota mid-November, the salesman said I'd have the car by February 1st the LATEST. Now, he's estimating May delivery.

I initially placed an order with Bredermann Toyota in October, was told mid-November delivery. Now, they say May delivery as well.

Oh well, I'm just glad I have a car to drive in the meantime. At least I know now that estimates given by dealers are based on absolutely no factual information, either that or they're based on REALLY sketchy information.

Well, on the bright side, at least they've offered you a car and they've been calling! I wish I could say the same.

Maybe you'll get lucky this weekend...............I mean, in terms of good news with respect to getting your Prius soon.

 

I am short on time so I will keep this brief. I started in Chicago area, and got all kinds of bad guarantees also. Ended up finding a car (not the one I longed for) in Wisconsin. Just hang in there.

On another note, I just spoke with one of those dealers in the area. He has a White Prius available (or soon to be available) in Pkg 3. He stated that the cost is $22,524 - which is $1000 over sticker per him. I warned him that several people don't take kindly to this pricing, but some others might want it. I personnally have no financial interet in this, just passing along info.

His name is Dennis Mascari of Grossinger Toyota and he can be reached at 847-675-7100.

 

Well, don't leave us hanging. Do you have your Prius? Is life good now?

:clap:
