I will now be bumped to the 2006 model year!
Interesting to note that the back-up camera will be on all options package except for #1 (probably the lowest grade).
Has any one heard anything more consistent on 2005 allocations and new 2006 models?
No,no, there are more like you out there. I want that camera as well.ceric said:Wow,
I want that backup camera. I hope that will be backward compatible wiith 2005 model. It seems Toyota finally realize that Prius is a geek car, it needs all the geeky gadgets. Yes, I am speaking for myself. Sorry.
Strange. My dealer just called this morning and said that our loaded, 2005, seaside pearl, Prius will be in on Tuesday. We put down our deposit on August. 20. Did you try calling other dealerships?wcatabay said:I am new to this forum, but I just wanted folks to know that my 2005 Super White Prius w/ Gray interior BC package is not being allocated for the rest of the year. I placed a deposit on August 11th and was sure to get one on the next allocation for Sept/Oct.
I will now be bumped to the 2006 model year!(expect to get delivery in mid Nov). From other posts, my dealer confirmed with a spec sheet that all those other goodies will be on the 2006 model. e.g. back-up camera, tire pressure, leather, new colors, etc. I was also told that there will be a $500 dollar increase for '06 models. My discounts (~$500 for being referred with credit union) will still apply. Hence, below MSRP!

The only problem with that tactic is that the dealer knows damn well that if you don't buy the Prius, someone else will, probably within less than a week.ehurtley said:You already put down a deposit. INSIST on paying the 2005 price. Especially if they told you you'd get a 2005. If they refuse to drop to the 2005 price, walk away. (And tell them why.)
You put down a deposit on a 2005 model year vehicle, and were told that you would pay the 2005 price. So that's all you are willing to pay.
