I placed an order with a dealer in Cincinnati through Costco auto purchase program.
I gave the dealer few options

Touring edition only

Color Seaside pearl or Pine mica green
Option package either 3 or 5
Interior color either grey or the other

Paid a non refundable deposit of 500 d0llarsThe choice of colors is based upon the postings on this website. Here in rural KY I only saw few very few Pries only in red and silver.
When I placed order through Costco the dealer said it may 6 months as the above 2 colors are not available with touring package.

Today he said”It may take 3 months, before December 15th”
I am not very sure what Costco’s price will be, but that is O.K. The nearest Costco is 220 miles away; I just became a member of Costco to avoid the negotiating with the dealer.
The lowest quite I had -1000 dollars above invoice

The Prius mystique is what my mother is calling it. I don't know when it will be available, how much it will cost, what color it will be, or what features it will have. Still, I'm willing to pay whatever they ask. Most people think I'm nuts. Mystique, indeed!

Lucky for me, then, that I have a (rough) date, and I know exactly at what price, what colour and what package I'm getting. That being said, I still can't wait. I'm squee-ing like a little girl every time I think about one. ;-)

Two weeks down, 13 or so to go. I'm not sure what to do with myself while I wait with baited breath. ;-)

Lord, grant me the patience to make it through the wait, and give it to me NOW! ;-)

Dealer just gave me a quick call today to say that everything was still a-okay. He told me that he'd have a VIN for me about 4 weeks prior to the delivery of my vehicle (so, November 15th ish). I'm still being rather patient.

In the meantime, I have found someone to take over the lease of my current vehicle (2006 Chevrolet Impala), so that's at least a good thing.

I continue absorbing as much information as I possibly can, and am looking forward to ignoring it all and just driving the car and enjoying it when I first get it.
