Last Friday my wife and I drove to Nystrom Toyota in Winona, MN. We met with Don Freeman who said he could deliver a Salsa Red #7 2005 in October or November, 2004, nearly nine months sooner than our hometown Toyota dealer which has a much longer customer list. We gave Don $1000 and got on his list in #8 position.
Mr. Freeman also said that if we were willing to take a package 9 we might be able to get our Prius a little earlier. We told him we'd consider it should the opportunity present itself.
Today Nystrom Toyota changed hands and became Underdahl Toyota. Coincidentally I got an early morning phone call from Don, who's staying with the dealership. Don said that he was getting a silver #9 and everyone else on his list before me wanted to hold out for a #7. Did I want the silver #9? If so it was mine! After a quick call to my wife I called Don back in about five minutes to tell him we'd take it! It is supposed to be here in ten days or so! Needless to say my family is really excited! I just wanted to share our good fortune with the group.
I'll let you know how it all transpires...
