Your # on Dealer's Waiting List: No idea

They said I may end up getting a 2006.

There is absolutely no reason to wait six to twelve months for delivery of a Prius in Southern California.

I saw my car broker over the weekend. She advised me that she has been offered numerous Priuses, by several dealers, under MSRP.

The wait is over.

Yes, the wait is getting shorter,so if you don't want to wait as long you might want to check with Dianne at Carson for another option. (She posts here frequently.)

Here is a recent post from her about the waits she is currently seeing: http://priuschat.com/forums/2005-prius-lis...ighlight=#65591

Very true. I placed my order in late January and had my car three weeks later. Several local dealers cited waits of anywhere from four months to over two years, but I found one that promised a 1-2 month wait and even managed to beat that.
