My Car: Other Non-Hybrid Package: N/A Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 |  Wait time. I live in Indiana and I ordered a new Prius on the 19th of May. I know it's a swag, but what kind of wait time should I expect. The sales person said could be three week, three months, who knows. I'd like to hear from other owners how long they waited to get their car. Right now I'm expecting sometime in August and will be happy if it's earlier. Should I be calling the dealer every couple of weeks or so to "check-in"? Wedge |

Got the car at the end of may, june 1st time frame. So to say 6 weeks from beginning to end would be about right since I visited the dealer twice and did not put a down payment until the end of april time frame. |

This is from 3 to 4 different dealers.. there are many more out there but i had had enough after trying to squeeze any info out of them. |

My Car: 2006 Prius Package: #6 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 1 | Re: Wait time. sounds like Toyota is doing all they can to take advantage of the new found desire for Prius!! We ordered ours in winter of '06 and got it 5/31/06 (back when the production was lower and they were on a wait).. then after they bumped up production they actually offered some incentives on Prius for short time before the price of gas spiked again and now they're back to the waiting lists.. Toyota wants to get as many out as possible would be my guess.. Uberdomination of the hybrid market! why not? they have the best product. |
