    Ok...I did it, I ordered a 2005 Prius. Now, for the long wait.

    Does anyone here know if a 2005 owners manual is availbale online? I'd liek to read as much as I can about my soon (?) to be new car.

    thanks

    The only way to get it before you get the car is to buy it from Toyota.

    That's incorrect. They can be purchased through the parts department at a Toyota Dealership, from some online Toyota Product sites.

    Also, it's downloadable from the Toyota Technical Information Service (TIS) site for a $10 1 day subscription.

    I downloaded one for the 04 pre delivery from the site and other than some organization and renaming it worked well. Go for it.

    Not EXACTLY. The dealers are independant businesses. THEY would have to buy it directly from Toyota. :) So I guess Evan's point was that you don't have to contact Toyota corporate to get one.

    If you still need an 05 manual let me know. I can post it here for you.

    The question comes up a lot, I think that's one reason for the type of answers you received. No offense meant, I'm sure.

    Some of us getting 05's now are finding the manuals on back-order from the dealer (as I posted elsewhere). Checked with them today, two weeks later, still no manuals.

    So for the 05 anyway, its still a reasonable question. Thankfully I owned a Classic previously so there were only a couple differences to get over.
