Hey guys, my dealer called a week ago and said the estimated delivery date of my car is Jun 21st! TODAY!

But still no call, although the day is still young...

Anyway my question is, did anyone's other dealers give an estimated delivery date? And if so, was it accurate?

Im trying to plan a trip around this since i have to drive 500 miles, so any info would be great, thanks!

I ordered on Dec 27, 2003. At that time the salesman estimated May or June if deliveries remained as they were occurring. My car was delivered on May 28th.

When I placed my order in late-February, my dealer said to expect delivery in April. Of 2005!

Checked in with him a few weeks ago and he's holding firm to the original estimate.

I sure hope it comes in the morning because I'm booked for the afternoon. :mrgreen:

The carriers drop carsat dealerships around the clock.

I got to see mine delivered at the dealer. I was driving by on my way home from work and stopped to see if they had an update. It was just driving off the carrier. I stopped the driver and asked him to check the VIN; it was mine.

Kev1000000 · 06-21-2004, 07:16 PM

So is the date they give pretty accurate?

Im EAGERLY waiting like everyone for my prius and its soooo close, yet sooo far away

How late do you think they would call if my car did arrive?

Thanks for helping btw!

When I got the call from my dealer, the car had been loaded on a transport truck and was somewhere between southern California and the central coast where I live. They didn't know how long it would take to get here. It wound up taking about 3 days for it to actually get here (why, I don't know.) However, once it was here, it had to be checked out by the mechanics at the dealer, and as luck would have it one of the three who were authorized for the Prius was on vacation, another had a family emergency and the third had all kinds of things to do and was backed up. So I had to wait another day. Overall it took about 5 days from the first call until I could actually go and pick it up. The buying/signing process took a few hours. My guess is that each case is a bit different.

Good luck, and have fun when you get it! 8)

I "ordered" in late January and was told April, but most likely May. I'm still waiting.
