To late. I got my $500 deposit for 2010 Prius 8 month ago in the #1 Toyota dealer in the country. I was told I'm number one on the list and will be the first in New Englang to get one. At the time there was no packages or price available, they will contact me as soon any info will become available to workout all package details. I'm driving my 2008 Yellow Toyota FJ cruiser now and I'm loving it. I'm very confident in Toyota products and I'm sure the 2010 will be no different.

chances are you will never get it. dealers are notourious for taking thousands of dollars in deposits in hope that most people will change their minds, die, move out of the area and several other reasons. they have nothing to lose and interest on thousands to gain. in a previous business i had almost 40k in unclaimed deposits, and i'm small potatoes.

Seems kind of silly to give your dealer the use of your $500 for over a year on his word that you would get a chance to buy a car.

Sure, use all you want. Completly refundable deposit and number one on the list. I can walk away any time i want, but not realy planing too. If you want to change your thirst on oil you have to start some where. I did my part. I change my home system from oil to gas, and i installed solar panels on my roof. If you want to talk about package on your Prius who cares.

Ll2k,
Congrats on being Numero Uno. Unfortunately, you will most likely not be the first in the country to get the 2010. With the 2004s, we in the Midwest were constantly complaining that those darned Californians were hogging them all. You will be the first in New England though and as far as driving it down the street, that might be all that matters.

And though it's a little early right now, I expect a full barage of pictures similar to Joe's Diner: smoke and mirrors :: My 2004 Prius
