Salsa Red #9 in Illinois

Date Ordered: 10/15/03 (or thereabouts)
Dealer Ordered From (Incl. City/State): Oakbrook Toyota, Westmont IL
Timeframe given for delivery: 6-8 weeks originally (Hah!!)
Color: Salsa Red
Option Package: #9
Your # on Dealer's Waiting List: "You're near the top of the list."

Sure wish I could have gotten it before the end of the year, for the extra tax break. Now the salesman is saying February or March. He tells me I'm way up near the top of the list, and that their dealership will get the largest allocations because they sell the most Priuses in the area.

My 2002 Prius (Brilliant Blue Pearl) has 42,000 miles on it and should get new tires, but I've been hoping my 2004 will come in so that I can save myself that expense. And I sure hope I get my new car before that 45,000 mile service is due, the first I'll have to pay for myself.

If I didn't already have a Prius, I'd be going crazy.
