Just ordered my new Prius yesterday!
I had to go all over town to find a dealer that would give me a fair amount for our trade-in (a 2001 Jetta). Every dealer I went to left us at least a thousand dollars upside-down until our last stop. They were awesome!
Anyways, the salesman told me the wait is 1-2 months. Another salesman, whom I spoke to over the phone, told me that Toyota only takes orders at their factory for the Prius twice a month: in the middle and at the end of the month. If this is true, the earliest my Prius would be ordered is around the middle of September.
That having been said, I have seen rumors that the 2006 Prius will begin its manufacturing run in October. Does anyone here have any other info and could hazard a guess as to whether or not my Prius will be '05 or '06? The salesman even made a point to mention that since our order falls in this "transition period," we may wind up with an '06.
I've looked around, but see no info about pricing on the various packages that are supposedly offered nationwide for the 2006s. So this may cost me more... but with a built-in MP3 player who cares?
Looking forward to scouring this site, and to being a Prius owner! Thanks!
