We are looking to buy in Northern VA too. Do you have any information on how much below MSRP we can hope to get in this area?

I can't speak to the question of actual transaction prices in Portland, but there appears to be plenty of availability on the ground. All I can say is that I would not pay a penny over MSRP for this car now that there are multiple examples on virtually every dealer's lot from here to Seattle...

I bought my two Toyotas (no Prius - yet) from Fitzmall in Gaithersburg, MD and have been pretty happy with them. This one is in Tideland Pearl:

Listing of MSRP? anyone? by captainkev

I am in the process of buying a Prius today! after a terrible experience at Poway Toyota this weekend (SO. Calif) I am turning to buying from a private party, but want to confirm prices... I can't seem to find MSRP anywhere (without going to a dealer). Can anyone help give a quick ballpark of MSRP for package #6 and Package #5 with no extended warrantees?
 
experience at the dealer was typical pressure sales experience. also, outside the hovering sales agents were making comments about people driving into the dealer... totally unprofessional in my opinion.

...should be easily available online.
 
Edmunds, Kelley, and Toyota's websites should have this info.

And one bad experience at one dealer hardly would make me eager to buy from a private party...

Unless you can get one way under Blue Book from a private seller I would look for a different dealer. You can get better deals in AZ or NV. I have not been able to buy a new car in San Diego since 1967. Just not competitive pricing. LA is better still too high for me.

Is it true that toyota is only sending packages #4, #5 and #6 in Portland? I am looking for a pkg #1 and one of the sales guys told me this?

If you are a serious buyer, I would e-mail and/or phone every dealer from Ashland to Seattle [get the details from the Toyota website] and tell them what you are looking for and what you'll pay. If the car you want is anywhere in the NW, you'll find out soon enough.
 
I haven't reached that stage, so I have no personal info on what the NW region is getting by way of option choices. Toyota has been known to restrict option pkgs in the past, so nothing would surprise me.
 
Some dealer websites offer the chance to search their new car inventories online - take it with some salt [these cars are sometimes already sold to somebody], but that is another way to check up on what's out there.

NW Availability by jrct9454

A quick and very dirty search of WA and OR dealers shows plenty of availability, and many cars priced below the levels of pkg 4 or above. How many of these cars are actually on the lot and available for sale is another question - again, a serious buyer just needs to make some phone calls and/or e-mail inquiries. Never, ever, take the word of one dealer for anything in this business....

A few hours on the phone and Internet can save you hundreds and maybe thousands of dollars. For example I priced a new Jetta TDI Wagon at a dealer in Portland last week. They sell for $200 over invoice. A dealer across the river in Vancouver wants $995 over MSRP for the very same vehicle. You gotta shop around!
