My 2008 came in

[twilsonchicago]

Ordered it 3 weeks ago after I couldn't find a 2007 gray NR in 4 states. Dealer wasn't expecting it for another week or two, but it came in Friday and I took delivery Friday night.

A couple anecdotes: Friday was my Mom's birthday. I mentioned it in passing to my salesman while we waited for some paperwork. He pulled out his Palm Pilot to show me that, in fact, it was his Mom's birthday, too. He did a good job of demoing everything. Even set the Navigation to guide me home, and had me pair my Bluetooth phone. First call I received in the car was on the way home, from my wife, wondering where the hell I was, she having dropped me off at the dealer more than two hours earlier.

Love the car.

On the same prius you got a dealer I had been talking with quoted me invoice, then 2 weeks later he said we're only selling now at MSRP, so I told him I was a spiritual adviser and told him where to go...The reason for this reply is how much was your price, less tax and tags...Oh and congrats and best luck...

Supply seems really tight right now in the upper midwest. I paid MSRP. When I was looking for a gray NR in inventory or allocated (within about a 300 mile radius--as far away as Fort Wayne, St Louis, Milwaukee and Indianapolis), there was nothing. Whenever one would show up it would be gone immediately. Some dealers were taking maybe a couple hundred bucks off what they had, but generally not on factory-ordered cars. I decided to order it close to home, at the dealer that first showed me the car.
