IT CAME!!!

4 weeks ago I went to the North Attleboro dealership in MA and put down my downpayment. They said 6-8 weeks and I laughed it off, preparing to hunker down for the next few months waiting (from what I've seen on this board). Early this week I started hearing about 6 month waits, including from somone who contacted me re my dealership, saying they recently told him 3-6 months. So I called my dealer on Sunday and left a message saying I would take any color and asking for an update. He left me a message saying he'd have to get back to me.

Today (friday) he called and said something about a salsa red package 5 (i wanted 6 but whatever). He has a thick haitian accent so I didn't understand much of anything he said aside from the availability of a Prius. I said I'd take it and he (sounding surprised) said he'd prepare the delivery and call back. A few hours later the financial guy called and said my car had arrived a 1/2 hour ago and I can go see it tomorrow and do the paperwork, and drive it away on tuesday!

So I guess it helps to be flexible and to be fresh in their memory. I never knew where I was on the list though I think there were 12 people on it. They must not have wanted red. :mrgreen:

 

red was my last choice but after seeing it in person, damn what a nice looking car! i think it's now my first choice, thankfully.

i get to drive it home on tuesday! :mrgreen:
