    Yeah not sure what the email indicates, since we knew the cars were offloaded on Wednesday at the Benicia port. So now we must wait for our dealers to say, "Come and get it!"

    That's really great! I'm hoping to get that final email next week, after the Eminent Ace makes it way down to Long Beach.

    Just recd. the same email as well. ely05 I see that you live in south bay as well. Probably should just go together to pick ours and take pictures :). I believe there are 8 PIP coming in to Putnam. :)

    That sounds about right. New Century 2 arrived last evening in LB, and you say the offloading took place on Wednesday at Benicia.

    Sounds Good! There's 14 listed on the spreadsheet. Not sure how many people in total ordered from Putnam, but probably more than what we are seeing. I have been bugging Andrey a little too much lately. I'm sure he'll be glad to get rid of me. I was hoping that he would have a better idea of when they would actually show up in his lot, but he indicated that he doesn't really have that much visibility.

    I know. I stopped bothering him this week. Are you leasing or buying? Did u prequalify for the loan? I keep hearing ppl say PIP is $5k more than standard Prius. After rebates and tax credit aren't they same?

    I have been bugging Dianne (at Carson Toyota) quite a bit too. I'm sure she is happy that all of her customers don't ask as many questions as I have. I have been pesky...

    [I can't imagine how busy she must be right now...]

    I have a question for those that got the "arrived at port" email. Does the color of the car in the email match the one you ordered? Or did everyone get an email with a "Sea Glass PEarl" car?

    Well the Prius 5 is about $10k less than advanced. Not sure what model compares to base model, Prius 3, 2? The 3 is about 6.5k delta and the 2 is 8k. It's a lot closer on the base model vs. advanced.

    buying, loan from starone CU at 2.5%.

    A Prius Five with Advanced Technology Package is $34,885, so it is about $5K difference.
