When will the 2006 MY be available for purchase?

dawall · 05-17-2005, 08:38 PM

Ordered a 2005MY but if the 2006MY is coming out within the next few months I'll hold off till they come and order the 2006 (salesperson said july or august). When were the first 2005's actually being delivered?

Typically, the new model year has come out about September.

I got mine on the first day the 2005 model was delivered to dealers in Southern California, September 15.

And I got my dealer's last 2004 Prius straight off the boat on September 11, 2004. So there you go.

Or you could believe the salesman...

Haha. MY = model year.

I was trying to figure out why Toyota would add another package to the lineup for 2006.

The 2006 models for Prius will be out in late November, 2005. A few color changes and a few additons they plan, like leather and MAYBE a pwr seat, but the car will be introduced later than we are accustomed to.

So if they become available in September, when do dealers begin taking orders?

Thanks,

In this case, the Prius for 2006, it's not out till late November.

Thanks for the reply Di...

Yes, I got November from other threads... I was curious when dealers would let you order one. Is it not until they are available on the showroom floors??? I would assume you could put an order in much ealier?!!?!? They would have to have all the option details down of course...

Anyone know when you can "Place your order" with a dealer?

Thanks Again!

Thanks Dianne!

BTW, do you have any idea when Toyota might be releasing color and/or package changes for the 2006?

It's seemed to me in the past that it's been about 3-4 months before the models became available that they would announce the changes (e.g., Oct -> June or July). But if it's late November, sounds like we're talking August before specifics come out.
