6-8 weeks now? Hmmm...wishful thinking?

[LittlePinkSequin]

Yep, we know. However, Mike's post above says this dealership gets 3-7 allotted per week.

No call Monday. No call yesterday. So far no call today. I thought waiting 8 weeks would be no problem..hell, its only been 4 so far. I need to just chill out.

6 to 8 weeks!!

Some of us waited that many months a few years ago.

I was on 3 waiting lists and prepared to fly 600 miles to pick up my Prius.

Luckily a broker was able to find one in Oregon and had it shipped up to me only 4 months after I got on the first waiting list.

Hello:

I ordered mine in very late April and had it delivered 12 days later. It came from Toyota of Richardson. I say call and ask for Nate and tell him I sent you. That is surely a long wait. I have the Barcelona Red 08 with Package 2. I LOVE my Prius!

Toyota of Richardson is the only dealership that tried to charge me a 'market adjustment' above MSRP, so I chose not to do business with them.

Salesman called today my car was in. When I got to the dealer and looked at it Silver PKG 2. I decided to pass on it and go for the Touring PKG 2. I've got to go back this afternoon and change my deposit from the one that's there to the one that's not. Handling and braking are better with the Touring; and worth giving up a couple of MPGs to me.

ANY OPINIONS

This is a post about order tracking, specifically in Texas. I'd check the boards for other posts about touring/non-touring - there are a lot out there.

I called Round Rock Toyota this morning to see whats up. My salesman said that all the allocations for this two week period have been assigned and that I'm moving up the list. (Gee, thanks for the detailed info!) He said that nothing would change until the first week of July when the new allocations are assigned. Tom Petty said it right: "Yeah the waiting is the harrrrrrrrdest part"

[BigMike]

Well well well...look what we have here. My Prius is arriving July 10th! About 7 weeks. Hooray!

Anyone wanna buy a 98 Jeep?

[LittlePinkSequin]

Yay! Well, you got on the waiting list five days ahead of me, so maybe this means I won't be too far behind you. (Fingers crossed.) Yeah, if you know of anyone locally who wants an '02 VW Passat wagon, send 'em my way...
