    Hello All,
    I have been looking for a prius for a couple of weeks and I am on the waiting list but like everyone would rather not wait 8 weeks. At any rate I did find a dealer with an un-spoken for package #5 in green. Unfortunately we are in a rural area and navigation seems sort of silly, not to mention that I would rather not pay $27k for a car. Has anyone heard of buying one and then swapping for the car that I really want? Package #2 in blue red or black.

    Maybe that is just too much work and I should just be patient.

    Thanks,
    G

    I'm waiting on a Black, package #2. Dealer estimated 3-6 weeks...

    It is going to be a long month!

    Hehe I think alot of people have the same feeling. Maybe I should just buy it and drive it until the one I want comes and then sell it. After looking around it looks like the used ones are selling for new price anyway. But I know myself and I'd probably not want to sell it and end up with two. :)
