The Prius Waiting List Support Group.

[MsDaisy]

I'm not quite ready for therapy yet since my wait will be just a tad over 2 weeks. A week ago I lucked up into my dealer having a Prius pkg 6 scheduled to arrive on 6/23 that nobody had reserved yet. I think the color, Silver Pine Mica, wasn't anyone's first or second choice because it looks pretty crappy on the website. So it had been passed over and I was able to make a deal on the spot. Now I just have to hold on til the 23rd!

From what I've been told the car's that are sitting on the dealers lots have all been spoken for. We're getting ours from the Puyallup dealer and the way our he is talking we should know more next week when they get their allocation sheets. We're in the top 10 now and with the dealers increased allotment we should have ours by the end of the month. That will mean we will have only waited one month. Bob Bridge in Renton just told me last week their wait is 5-6 months.

Wait wait and wait. I have the same to you.

Good idea for post! I am waiting impatiently myself. I ordered my white touring pkg 3 on May 20th. I have already bought my carpet, bumper protector and mud flaps on line ..so at least I have part of my new baby now! I keep telling myself that all future becomes the present then the past.

I got on the list May 15th and was told last week that my black #2 will be here June 18th-24th. When I got on the "list", I was only #2! Now the dealer says it is up to 25 people! What a difference a couple of weeks makes!

my mom and i just put down her deposit today. i'm waiting with bated breath. we weren't given an actual timeframe, just "that they're coming in sooner than expected for most people."

I'm on the list with two dealers. I'm looking at a 3-4 months wait either way. I spent my time on a recent road trip counting Prii - got up to 29 over a total of about 8 hours travel time.

I was told I would have to wait 45-60 days when I ordered on May 20th. They told me to call June 19th when they get the next allocation. All fingers and toes are crossed that it comes earlier!n Not only do I want it but I average 22mpg right now in my Volvo 940 turbo and use 36 gallons of required premium gas per week.

Hang in there people... It is worth the wait

I got on the list May 22nd and was told there was a 7 to 8 week wait.

But I got lucky!!

Someone who ordered the exact Prius I wanted could not get her co-signer for her loan, so I got the car. I LOVE IT!

I've officially been on a list for a week today and I fully expect to be on the list for many weeks to come. Planning to call my salesman today to just check in and see if he's heard anything about their next allocation.

It'll be worth the wait - I'm sure.

Congrats to those that are getting their cars this month - and here's hoping that the rest of us don't have to wait much longer.
