Salsa red #6 (adding leather seats) Sunnyvale, CA 8/04

Date Ordered: 08/something/2004
Dealer Ordered From (Incl. City/State): Sunnyvale Toyota
Timeframe given for delivery: 6 Months, and rising
Color: Salsa Red
Option Package: #6 (Used to be Option #9 in 2004 model)
Your # on Dealer's Waiting List: 117 (as of 10/31)

We plan to have the dealer add leather seats after it arrives, and we
debated about the color. we had silver and blue as our top choices,
but saw the red on the streets (looks more like a cranberry red than
the 'arrest me' red swatch in the brocure) and decided we liked it the best.

We got an update on the list when we changed our mind on color.
They said we were #117, and they get about 15-20 a month, so that
means 6 months. They had said 6 months in August, so I pointed out
we were not really any closer to delivery. They said there now 185 people
on their list, and they are hopefull Toyota starts cranking out more in the near future.

It's kind of like the line at the DMV. You're not moving, but at least there
is some satisfaction that the line has grown out the door behind you.

I'll update on progress, assuming there is some.
