#31 of 7481 Delivery by johnf1936 Nov 13, 2003 (5:20 am)
I ordered on last week. In Baltimore. I was given a mid December delivery but I do not have any documentation so reading this Board I wonder if they tool my order seriously
#32 of 7481 Prius inventory in the South East by footie Nov 13, 2003 (7:53 am)
Check a dealership in the SET distribution zone (GA, SC, NC, etc.).   Their online inventory showed at least one base unit at MSRP plus delivery.   Other combos that are hard to find in other areas like the NE appear to be there. Might be a hike for some, but at least they are around.
#33 of 7481 Finally got delivery by little_pogi Nov 14, 2003 (4:37 pm)
of my 2004 Prius today. It took 27 days for my dealer (Longo Toyota) in S. California to get me one. When I first ordered it last Oct. 17 and put that $500 refundable deposit, my salesman mentioned I was 97th in line and it may take around 60-120 days to arrive. I was very specific about the MSRP only pricing, color, trim and package I want that the salesman admitted that 60 days was a very optimistic forcast. 2 weeks ago he called me up and said a different color was available that instant if I wanted it. I turned it down. To my surprise this morning, he called me again informing me that my Prius has arrived.   I've been to over 15 dealership here in SoCal hoping to find one. All were taking orders only. Most dealers were asking $2000 over MSRP. One dealer called me later to say they had one but was asking $7000 over MSRP when I came in to close the sale. Ran out the door right away. I think Toyota is making extra effort to deliver the ordered Priuses. A good dealer may be able to deliver in less time than what they promise and will sell it at MSRP at the most.   I also got the Toyota's extended warranty for $1460. It covered 7 yrs or 100k miles whichever comes first. Has anybody also pruchased extended warranty and how much did you pay?
#34 of 7481 Extended Warranty by djasonw Nov 16, 2003 (5:36 am)
I paid $1080 for the Platinum 7/100,000 from my dealer. I was fortunate to negotiate $100 of MSRP and I did buy a BC Silver. Since it was loaded, I asked my dealer if he could give me a good price on the warranty. Some people have paid $980 for the same warranty. I think its well worth it if you intend to keep the car for a long time. Especially true with all the new technology in this car.
#35 of 7481 Delivery Time by stillwaiting3 Nov 17, 2003 (10:11 pm)
I ordered my 2004 Prius on 19 September (in Colorado), and have not received my car. Also, as of 2 days ago, the dealer could not confirm it would be in the December delivery. I ordered a black Prius with Option 7, and expected that it would come in this month. Anyone else been waiting this long?
#36 of 7481 Anyone Paying MSRP in So Cal? by sizzle_leem Nov 19, 2003 (8:05 am)
Hello, just wondering about whether anyone has been successful buying the 04' Prius at or under MSRP from a dealer in Southern California. The couple that I have talked to so far are charging a 2K premium.   Also, how successful have anyone been getting the dealers to tack on an extended warranty and accessories? To me it seems that although there's not a lot of wiggle room to negotiate the sticker price, the dealerships should be flexible on these other things. Any thoughts?
#37 of 7481 MSRP by sms75 Nov 19, 2003 (5:55 pm)
We got our Prius last Friday night. They are coming in by onesies and twosies here in NC. The sales person told me they are telling folks that cars ordered now won't be here before Jan/Feb - every car coming in before then has already been "sold". The dealer was adamant about MSRP - not a penny less. But on the other hand, they could charge - and get - more than MSRP and they are not. I checked with several dealers in the Raleigh - Durham - Fayetteville area and they seem to all be playing that line. There was some "give" on the extended warranty.
#38 of 7481 MSRP on SoCal dealers by little_pogi Nov 19, 2003 (6:12 pm)
There there a number of dealers in the Southern California distribution district that I found were selling at most MSRP.   Longo Toyota in El Monte with a $500 refundable deposit. It took only 28 days for my salesguy to get me one. His name is Allen Hon.   Bob Smith Toyota in La Crescenta. There are not a big dealer so it may take them a while to get you one from Toyota.   Symes Toyota in Pasadena and West Covina Toyota are also selling at MSRP.   Bill Wright Toyota in Bakersfield is another one. This may be one of the faster deliveries if you are willing to put a $500 refundable deposit and a long drive up north.   Claremont Toyota's Dave Castillo will sell at MSRP if he finds the color and options you want.   Crown Toyota in Ontario sells them at MSRP upon drop shipment. No reservations.   Hope these information helps.

I just got a call from my dealer today in Colorado Springs -- my Prius is arriving in their next allocation which comes in mid-December. I paid MSRP with no additional handling fees or costs; Colorado gives a tax credit on low emission cars. On the 2003, it was about $3K. The 2004 will also qualify, but they have not announced the credit amount for it yet as each model has a different credit based on the price differential as compared to non-hybrid cars in the same class. I will also get an extra tax credit from the state because I'm retiring a car over 10 years old (1990 Accord with 237,000 miles). The stipulation is that I sell it to salvage or to an out of state buyer (they don't car if old cars pollute other states). The Fed deduction and Colorado credit take a nice bite out of that price.
#40 of 7481 '04 Package #9 (Loaded) by missmyaudi Nov 20, 2003 (10:42 am)
I was able to negotiate $200 off MSRP AND get the floor mats/cargo net/first aid kit thrown in for free. I purchsed it at IRA Toyota in Danvers, MA.   BTW, I went from an Audi A6 to the new Prius and do not regret my decision. Sure I miss the handling, quattro, and superior ride, but I honestly feel like I didn't give up much by purchasing the Prius. It's a great car. Replies to this message: seroq (Jul 29, 2006 5:31 pm)
