Back in November 04 when I decided to purchase an 04 Prius after considerable deliberation, I had to wait for my ordered car three months. The salesman (whom I found to be agreeable, curtious, and helpful) gave me the straight talk. "If you want a Prius it will be sold MSRP and that is the only way to puchase it." Not unlike a Saturn dealership when it comes to their cars too. The price of the 05 Prius has gone up and as I look back on my decision to GO GREEN I feel that it was the right one by far. As fuel prices esscalate I'm even more confident in my move to combat my fuel costs. If anyone out there is considering a Prius (or any other hybrid) I suggest you give it serious thought and talk to those of us that already took the BIG PLUNGE. An emphatic YES! I totaly endorse it. Is the Prius worth the $$$$? Unequivicably again yes! Lastly, I would point out as WE ALL watch the price of fuel go up and up. Doesn't it make sense to get a good feeling in a dealership again and a better feeling in your wallet?

1st...Go in on the last 3 or 4 days of the month. The sales agent is usually on commision and any salesperson will tell you they love to squeeze one more deal in at the end of the month.
2nd...If your serious about buying and your not a "stroker"(a goofuss who just wants to talk cars but has no intention of buying), let them know your a real "buyer"(even flash a check book) just to get your point across.(this is simply good communication)
3rd...This one is tricky. Find a salesperson you feel good about. You know, a non-pushy, non-phony, non-B.S.er.
4th...Understand that when a car is in demand (like the Prius) don't expect to see any discounts. You can avoid the "ADD ONS" in most cases. Prius cars are beginning to be abit more available so good luck.
Last point (for now) Treat them the way you'd want to be treated. Remember..They want to sell almost as much as you want to buy. That's why they're there.
PS There's nothing wrong with buying MSRP if the car is well worth it. Do test drive the car of choice of course too!
NOTE: You didn't say if you were trading or not. If you have a trade-in DON'T. You almost always lose big bucks that you could use toward that down paymnt. Clean up the old buggy (and I do mean serious spit & polish right down to the detailing). Put a 4-Sale sign in it. Run an AD. Sell it through "bargan-finders"
GOOD LUCK & TAKE YOUR TIME
