Hi Luigi:
 
Thanks for your info.... I was going to go to Melody Toyota , since a friend works there...but still have not gone in there....wanted to compare prices first.
 
Was in STockton for the first time last month...it has grown, with lots of new shops...but am glad that the salesman did not try to squeeze you for more....
 
I will check with them .

'04 pkg for for $21,900 vs new? by debl

This certified vs new question has me puzzled.. i am offered a certified '04 package 4 with 17k miles, for $21,900.. this seems like a good price, yet a new is around $23,600, maybe negotiable for a couple of hundred, so around 1500 more for 17,000 miles... doesn't it make more sense then to just get a new one as the price is so close? yes certified has longer drivetrain warranty but the other warranty's have that many miles used up....and the new one gets the tax deduction.. any thoughts? help! have to decide today...

So for $1500 less you lose the tax deduction (worth several hundred $ to most people) plus you have an extra year's depreciation ('04 vs. '05). Plus you have no way to tell how the used car was driven/abused during break-in and afterwards. If it were me, I'd pay the extra bucks for new.

GO for the new one, better interest rate and you get the $2000 tax incentive...

1)regarding the 10yr/150,000 syngergy drive warranty in calif. (vs 8yr/100k elsewhere): if you buy the car out of state but register it in ca. do you get the calif. warranty? or do you have to buy it in state?
 
2)also: one dealer told me the sales tax was dependent on where you register the car, not where you buy it... is that true?? doesn't seem right...
 
thanks!

On the first question, I don't know but it's a really important question. If I were you I'd get a definitive answer, in writing, from your Toyota dealer or Toyota Customer Service.
 
On the tax, this varies by state. In my state, if you pay less than 6.5% sales tax on the car bought in another state, you have to make up the difference when you register the car. (They don't want people going to a lower-tax state next door just to avoid paying sales tax.)

packages looking to buy by bobraxton

Perhaps this is the wrong forum/board but here is what I have gleaned and think we want in purchasing:
 
Pkg# 4 to get side impact plus stabilization
$795 for Platinum warranty (to 100,000 miles?)
$345 for road hazard (includes wheel replacement)
$895 pre-paid scheduled maintenance (through what mileage?)
 
We received a quoted "price break of $500" which made our "plain" Prius cost Out-the-Door to be dollars over $23,000 but I have not discussed these other items with the Washington, D.C., area dealer. Has someone bought all these in a single package and are the prices doable?

Pkg# 6 Virginia near Washington, D.C. by bobraxton

Pkg# 6 Out-the-Door price quoted to us was
$27,309.77 which includes safety (sida air bags, stability) as well as cassette (in stereo).
We are in Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C.
 
Now (because I asked about warranty:
 
"The total O.T.D. with the 7Yr 100K platinum “0" deductible “TOYOTA” =
$29,001.02
you can use your Toyota warranty at any of the 1300 dealers in the USA.
You also may purchase that warranty at any Toyota dealer that sells that Platinum 0 deductible warranty."
 
In my reading I have noticed people have quoted as much as $2,200 for Platinum warranty.
Some have claimed $1,200 as "dealer cost" but some have paid (as little as) $795 for it by negotiating ("that is all I will pay").
Your opinion of what sales here has quoted?
 
The Platinum quotes were for 6 years and 7 years, each 150,000 miles. Should there (also) be a 10-year Platinum? If so, is there any reason they should not have quoted it for us?
 
We are wanting also to do a bicycle rack but they quoted about $560 including 3 hours of labor charge (to put it on).

"... have package #4 that does include the side curtain airbags and vehicle stability control. We have a Seaside Pearl one with Package #4 that has I can offer a sale price of $24,648.19 which includes taxes, tags, processing fee ($279), all rebates, incentives, destination fee and web coupon. The platinum warranty, road hazard and scheduled maintenance plan are extra to this price. This products are sold by our finance department and I would be happy to have one of my representatives ... go over pricing on these items with you. You can reach me or one of them (just ask to speak with someone in the finance department)..."
I suspect this does not have the cassette of Pkg# 6 but is $2,661.58 less than the other offer, both read just this morning.
