I am so bummed about the delay in getting my car, that today I bought a model one that I am using as my avatar. After reading all the threads, I bought the stiffening bar, mud guards, VAIS SL2VI, block heater, that nifty little handle for the trunk that you attach to the license plate, the Kenwood sub, prius hoods miscellaneous storage bag and hood for the display, have found a place to do the clear bra and tinting, have the hitch so I can put my bike rack, rear bumper protector...boy, I can't wait to start installing all of this!...waiting

My frustration mounts with GO Toyota in Denver!
Over the weekend the used car department called me to inform me they had two used Priuses for sale, and as I was on the waiting list, would I be interested? I asked where I was on the list, 54th I would told! Wait a minute! a month ago I was 59th! and six weeks ago I was 107th! How can this be! I looked on line, and saw a listing through a leasing agency for a brand new 08 package 6 I could have, with clear bra and tinting for marginally more than quoted by GO! So this morning I called the dealership, and they pointed out that I have a signed contract (I do), that states that the deposit is non refundable (it does) and that it states that deliver can take up to six months (it does). I told them I am fully aware of what the contract states, but having waited so long and now not having progressed and being able to get a car this weekend, I was hoping to appeal to the good sense to let me out of the deal...no GO. They are holding me hostage! Bummer!

Hooray! I (believe) I will have my Prius tomorrow! This is what happened. I placed the order at Go Toyota in Denver on June 9. I was quoted 3 to 6 months, but probably much closer to 2 to 3 months. I progressed to 107 by July and to 59th mid August...Then I found out this weekend I had progressed to 54th! Some problem with the switch to the 09 or something to do with batteries! At any rate, I then looked on Craigslist, and a brand new listing appeared for a brand spanking new 08 package 6 at sticker price through a leasing company. I called my dealership, GO Toyota, and after a bit of negotiation, and my sales man, Pawel, going to bat for me, they realeased me from my contract! Their flexibility allowed me to get the car I needed now, as we sold my wife's car faster than we thought!
I am delighted and can't wait to sit on the driver's seat! After three months of reading all the posts in PC, I now feel like an "expert" on the car in theory, with no practical experience!
