Default Build Date and Delivery Date

I wonder if anyone could venture a guess on this: How long between the date a Prius is built in Japan and when it is delivered on the US west coast, let's say?? I'm assuming once they get to the dealer they don't last more than a few days.

Is the build date stamped or tagged anywhere on the car??


With a couple of months to go, if I'm lucky, I doubt if Toyota has even thought about building MY car.

I think it takes 3 weeks to ship over the ocean.

Pretty darn quick, I'd say. Did you find a tag or stamp somewhere in the car??

I knew the Japanese were far more advanced than us, what with their dancing robots and cell phones with TV, but I didn't realize they were this far ahead!

Just imagine what they're building today!

On the driver's side door jab there is a black and white sticker. It says Manufactured by Toyota, etc. - after that there is a date (month and year). Mine says 11/03. My dealer got the car on Dec 23, 2003.

So, since the production boost was announced in mid-December, those cars should be showing up now. (and should have already been in allocations since those run ahead of delivery by a few weeks).
