Hi, I am also in Knoxville and have just ordered a Prius from Fox in Clinton. Which dealership did you end up buying from?

[bjackson]

I ordered from Fox also. I went to Knoxville Toyota but they had 25 on the waiting list. I also like the laid-back style of Fox. When I wanted to test drive a used 2004 Prius they had for sale, the salesman told me go ahead and drive it. Didn't ask for my name or license before I left.

I was on the waiting list at Toy of Knox and went out to Fox to look and also liked the atmosphere and attitude much better. I also liked the fact that there was NO ADD ON sticker at Fox. I went back out to T of K a couple of days later and looked at some of the similar cars on their lot (Matrix, Camry) and most of them had at least $1700 added on. That sold me, I went back out to Fox, placed the order and gave them a down payment the next day. I would like to see a Prius club form in Knoxville someday. I have been noticing a steady increase in the number of Prii on the roads around town! Enjoy the car!

It's funny. I went for 2 weeks without seeing a single Prius and in the last week I've seen at least 2 a day. What did Fox tell you their wait time was?

[TNPrius1]

Our wait time will be five months if we wait for the exact car that we requested to come in. It could be as short a wait as two or three months if someone else were to back out of one that they had ordered. Most likely, we will just wait for the one that we ordered, unless an identical one comes in earlier. If we wait for the one that we ordered we will most likely have an '06 model too!

It was interesting, last weekend my wife and I saw three at the same intersection!
