The sales manager just called me to go over the spec for my preference. He said he had to get it ready tonight as it has to be turned in by tomorrow AM! I joked with him and asked him what ship is coming in. I had told him about the link I found on PriusChat showing the GPS locations of the ships. He said, I may be able to find out if indeed he gets an allocation.  It's a smaller dealership and while they wouldn't get a large allocation if any at all, I know that when they got my 07 TCH in, it came in the first shipment in West Virginia and I had a VIN ending with 0579. I'm hopeful he will be as lucky this time. However if he can't get what I want or fairly close I will wait since I plan to own this a while and want it pretty much like I've spec'ed. 2010 Prius V Blizzard White Beige / sand leather Navigation System All Weather Floor and cargo mats Heading to Ocean City next week. Maybe I can keep my mind off of it. I want it to come in, but not while I'm gone

Replying to: tyler70 (May 16, 2009 12:19 am) The ride is more basic than most midsized sedans but somewhat better than the compact cars. There is no need EVER to replace the hybrid battery....EVER! In both the Toyotas and the Fords these batteries are running upwards of 250,000 to 350,000 miles without replacement. In fact no one has been able to determine when and if they ever wear out. 500,000 mi? 700,000 mi No one has reached those levels yet. The warranty depends in which state you buy the vehicle and where you live. |

Replying to: civicbuyer (May 15, 2009 10:31 am) Your timing couldn't be any better. I looked at numerous dealer sites in the Seattle area and all seem to have a good inventory on hand. I've also been looking in NorCal for the same. I saw a Belleview Area dealer with 45 - 50 on hand. NorCal is loaded with excess 09's. Try sending an email to all the dealers within 75 miles and tell them exactly how much you will pay for an 09 Prius. I've been hitting dealer lots (twice weekly) in the NorCal area for a month. I have never seen more then 3 car buyers at any time during this period. Additonally, I hit Honda, VW and Accura as well since they are all together. The same Prius cars are still unsold with the exception of 1. Cars are sitting, really! There are far more Prius' sitting on lots, back lot's and on boats in the Long Beach harbor then most people realize. If I were ready to buy an 09, I'd be offering 21,000 (max) for the package 2. Once the 2010's come out, it will be less. IMO! If this doesn't work you can alway's go up on your offer. The car will still be there. Toyota was late in cutting back production on the 09 when (shtf) they profited during the gas hike. They were building and selling during that time. This is a great (maybe greatest) time to by a Prius!

Replying to: tyler70 (May 17, 2009 2:24 pm) When the '10s arrive here they are either preordered or will snapped up quickly. The lots here will be devoid of Prius' until Toyota can fill the pipeline with the '10s. BTW...the first one(s) in NA was delivered to buyers yesterday in the Portland OR area.
