No wait for 2005 Silver #6 in Utah

Called my local dealer this afternoon to ask about lists and the process. Told him I wanted to take possession after the first of the year. He told me $500 to get on the list. This evening he called back. There was a 2005 Silver #6 at the port in Los Angeles and headed our way with no buyer. Estimated arrival--four to ten days.

I've never been good at waiting, so I signed all the paperwork tonight. Paid MSRP. Didn't try to get less, and he didn't ask for more.

Moral of the story...if you're willing to take possession of a 2005 in the little time we have left in 2005, you might be able to avoid all the waiting.

 

Of course! And Provo. Good to keep in mind.

Thanks for the welcome. I'll post more when my car comes. It'll help distract me from all the money I paid and the tax credit I didn't get.

 

I got a call Friday afternoon that my car had arrived. Picked it up after work. For those keeping track, that makes four days from my first contact with the dealer to taking possession.

I'm glad I didn't have to wait, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else this late in the year. The $$$ difference between now and Jan is too big.

Anyway, I promised myself I'd forget about the money and just enjoy the car from now on. I love it! And as promised, I took some pictures. Since I'm in Utah, and since my silver Prius looks pretty much like every other silver Prius, I thought thought I'd at least entertain with mountains and cows in the background.

 

I took the pictures near Utah Lake at the west end of Provo. Yes, Wasatch. No, Sardine. Sardine Canyon is the one between Brigham City and Logan. I believe the one in the picture is Provo Canyon. Yes, it's a beautiful state. I love getting outside here.

I spent my pre-school years in Naperville. Small world.

I went to a movie tonight and there was a commercial at the beginning for the HSD. I wanted to shout out, "I have one of those!"
