6-8 weeks now? Hmmm...wishful thinking?

Is the 6-8 weeks an updated time? What were you originally told? I put my name on the RR waiting list a few days after you & was told I was in the 20s (nothing more exact). Was told at the time it could take anywhere from a few weeks (very unlikely) to a few months.

I requested a touring, package 3, in either magnetic gray or spectra blue.

 

Ordered a Touring Model, Package 6 on April 21st. My salesman hasn't been able to tell me a thing as of middle of May. This could be a long wait.

 

Hmmm, interesting. I got on the RR waiting list on 5/21 and was told they had about "20 to 25" people on it. I emailed my salesperson yesterday asking for an update. We'll see if she responds & what the word is.

Either way, I know this is going to be a waiting game... Definitely keep updating this post & we'll see how we net out.

 

On Tues or Wed my salesperson told me I've moved up several places, but I'm still not exactly sure where I am on the list. It doesn't make sense that I'd be ahead of you though, so I hope you're really not #35. One of us must have been given the wrong info. Let's hope mine is right, because that would mean you're very near the front. (What are the odds?)

I don't think there's anything wrong with calling/emailing your salesperson weekly, though I agree I hate to be a pest. But then, they have my money, so...

Hope you get good news next week!

 

**105**??

Suddenly I'm feeling like 12, 20 or even 35 isn't so bad...

I'll check back here later to see if you have any news & will let you know if I hear anything as well.

 

i think most dealers get their allocations every two weeks and then go down their list to match car with owner. in between allocations there is not much new info.

so i would find out when their allocations come in ,how many they usually get and where you are on the list. check every few weeks to make sure you are making progress up the list, as you get to be #10 or so it might be worthwhile to call after every allocation .

 

Yep, we know. However, Mike's post above says this dealership gets 3-7 allotted per week.

 

6 to 8 weeks!!

Some of us waited that many months a few years ago.

I was on 3 waiting lists and prepared to fly 600 miles to pick up my Prius.

Luckily a broker was able to find one in Oregon and had it shipped up to me only 4 months after I got on the first waiting list.

 

Hello:

I ordered mine in very late April and had it delivered 12 days later. It came from Toyota of Richardson. I say call and ask for Nate and tell him I sent you. That is surely a long wait. I have the Barcelona Red 08 with Package 2. I LOVE my Prius!

 

Toyota of Richardson is the only dealership that tried to charge me a 'market adjustment' above MSRP, so I chose not to do business with them.

 

Salesman called today my car was in. When I got to the dealer and looked at it Silver PKG 2. I decided to pass on it and go for the Touring PKG 2. I've got to go back this afternoon and change my deposit from the one that's there to the one that's not. Handling and braking are better with the Touring; and worth giving up a couple of MPGs to me.

ANY OPINIONS

This is a post about order tracking, specifically in Texas. I'd check the boards for other posts about touring/non-touring - there are a lot out there.

 

Yay! Well, you got on the waiting list five days ahead of me, so maybe this means I won't be too far behind you. (Fingers crossed.) Yeah, if you know of anyone locally who wants an '02 VW Passat wagon, send 'em my way...
