How long does it take to order a Toyota Prius?

My lease is up in mid September and ordered a Jeep Patriot, but they have no idea when the vehicle will be in. I am coming down to the wire. Do Toyota dealerships typically can a wide array of Toyota Prius models? I obviously dont have 5-8 weeks..|||Funny how all the VW fans come out of the woodwork whenever anyone asks about the Prius.





By the way: Fuel economy for the 2007 Prius is 48 city / 45 highway (regular unleaded), and for the 2006 VW TDI New Beetle it is 31 city / 40 highway (diesel). Identically the same numbers for the 2006 VW Golf TDI. That's using the *NEW* mileage test results from the EPA. So the gasoline Prius still beats the diesel TDI, both in city and on the open highway. [There are no 2007 VW TDI models, that's why I listed 2006.]





Ignoring that -- most Toyota dealers have a good selection of Prius cars these days, just waiting for you to walk in and buy one. If you want a specific color and specific options, you may have to look around to more than your closest dealer, or push your dealer to trade with another dealer. But if you start looking now, you shouldn't have any problem getting a Prius you'll be happy with by mid-September.|||I've heard that a few Toyota dealerships still have waiting lists for the Prius, but most have models on the lot. I bought mine in February, and drove away with it on the same day I went to the dealership.|||Priuses are plentiful near the San Francisco Bay area at least. the 08 version hits 60 mpg city and 55 highway, so when it comes to fuel economy it's way better then the VW.





But as far as wide array of different models, well, there really isn't any wide arrays of models except for standard package and one loaded with extras that makes your car feel like the future. (as in no performance package if that's what you where thinking)|||It depends on where you live and the dealer you buy from. The honest truth is that large volume dealers get cars at a higher priority than small dealers. But they tend to mark up cars more. But the Prius comes in a just two trims and most everything you coud want is included, so unless color is a huge issue, you should be able to get the Prius you want from the lot. If not, shop around.|||Get a VW TDI model. Hybrid is only better in traffic jam/large city as far as fuel economy.|||Depends on where you live, here they have toyoto dealership but they will detur you from buying a prius because they are eggheads. And don't dare ask for a brocure because im sure they don't have them.





tell them to give you a loner car until the car you want arrives.|||your toyota dealer that is in your town should have atleast one on the lot. so i would go to them.|||I bought my Prius in April 2005 the same day. Great car.
