Hi,<br><br>I am new to the group and recently put my order in for my MY2001 silver Prius. ($500 deposit!)<br><br>As seems to be the general experience with many of you, my Toyota dealer does not seem to know anything about the car or the process of what happens when you order the car. I finally got them to put my e-mail address on the order, supposedly, but they are "having trouble" printing out a copy of the order for me. They did give me a purchase request number, but I am not sure how to proceed with this to check on the status.<br><br>Could someone who went through the process please describe what is supposed to happen next? I know there was some mention here about getting e-mail and some kind of package of goodies (calculator, owner's manual, etc.) from Toyota shortly after ordering. What should I be expecting to receive at this point? Approximately, when does the next thing happen?<br><br>In addition to this being a Prius, it is also my first NEW, new car. So, I am eager to have everything go smoothly and correctly. I promised myself five years ago when I had my then seven-year old Ford Escort GT (1988) repainted, that my next car would be electric. The Escort still runs well, and my husband will be driving it, but time to keep my promise!<br><br>Anyway, thanks for this group, and looking forward to your responses!<br><br>Sharon
