Anyone receive an '09 yet??

Picked mine up 8/8/08. It's an 08

I'm told to expect mine in October which would make it an '09. According to the dealer, it should be exactly the same as an '08.

For what it's worth, the Sales Rep at Capitol Toyota seemed knowledgeble (or at least confident) about Prii.

'09 pricing is $500 more than '08 pricing across all 3 trims.

Thanks for the info.

The salesman hinted of a 5 to $900 price increase, said they'll honor the current price quote. If the car comes in as 2009 model, I expect the 09, +$500 price increase in the finance dept.

When I ordered mine July 25th they said 6-8 weeks and
it would be 2009 because the west region was sold out of
2008's though the east region still had some 2008's.
It will have the $500 price increase. Just MSRP.

If you mean sold out as in none on lots, then that is true, but it will also be true for 2009. Dealers get two allocations a month. They are still getting 08's whether they're on the west coast or east coast.

Now if a dealer meant to tell you they aren't getting anymore Prius's until 2009, then they're fibbing. If what they really mean is that the rest of their 2008's are spoken for and if you get on a list, it will be a 2009 because of how long your wait will be, then that correct.

Nice! Very prosperous fortunes are headed your way.

I hope I dont have to wait till 9/9/9 for my 09.

Serra,

If I'm reading things correctly that will be the first 09 I heard of arriving. I hope they meant an 09 car, not 09 pricing (plus $500). Keep us posted and give a report.
