I'm on a long waiting list here in Milwaukee, WI for an '08 Touring Prius,
but if anyone has the name and phone # of a dealer, anywhere in the US where
there is a shorter wait time, please let me know. I'd be willing to order
one and have it shipped here.
Thank you for any info you can provide!

Wait times are a interesting topic
- Some dealers scare you with 4 weeks to up to 6 months for your
color, in order to get more $$$ and sell you colors & option packages
they can move.
- other dealers will work to get you in "Your" car within 1-4 weeks by
trading between themselfs. (few will mention this)
Best bet
ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS
Be prepared to travel 1-2 hours to another dealer. Put your name on
more then 1 list.
DO NOT PAY ANY PREMIUM, MARKET ADJUSTMENT, etc. This is ludricus and
hurts everyone and does not get you in a car any quicker.
(From what I read the touring model is not worth the money. Be sure
that is what you want!)

Well, I secured one from, none other than, Toyota of Hollywood, right on
Hollywood Blvd!! Whoo-hoo!
1st Toyota dealership in the country, opened in 1957.
Anyhoo, Touring Package #6, Silver Pine, can't wait. Should have it in
about 2 weeks. Being transported by national company.
Plus, I don't know where you read the Touring model isn't desirable,
Consumer Reports gives it an 80 rating (out of 100) and the base model a 68.
I'll take the Touring.
And yes, I live in Elm Grove, WI. :)
