I put a deposit down on a Prius in June anticipating a December to March delivery. Low and behold I get a phone call today offering me a Prius with the AM package in September. Am I just lucky or am I missing something since other dealers in my area have told me a 1-2 year wait is normal.
Some dealers get bigger allocations than others. Also, it might be that people ahead of you in the queue turned it down because they didn't want that package and/or that color.
I'm not sure if it will be considered a 2004 or 05, it is expected in the
That will probably be an 04, which might be another reason that people have passed. I know that back in June and July, people were passing on
04s, waiting for 05s. That helped me get mine four weeks ago, much sooner than I had expected to get one.
There was a discussion on Prius-2g group a few weeks ago about resale value of a 2004 and a 2005 bought one month from one another. I guess some people are worried about when they resale the car but if you plan on keeping it until it falls apart, 2004 and 2005 being the exact same car, I think passing on a '04 is irrational.
Are there really going to be any changes?
Gentlemen, pardon my ignorance: what is the AM package with relation to Prius? Thanks!
No changes. Just a price increase (to account for the rear wiper and some extra profit :-) ) and rumors of a possible change in colors mid-year.
