Dealer installed leather seats?? I didn't know they could do that. Are they front and back seats? How much were they? Are they heated? Thanks!

So in general how close to invoice should I be looking on an '08 Prius? As I read all the posts I feel there is no easy guide to pricing as most cars seem to have (i.e. $500 over invoice.). Any general feedback?
Also, how much does it cost for an HOV sticker here in Cali? Do I buy that from the dealer or from DMV?

In the northern CA, around invoice price to $300 under invoice, with "free" floor mats. HOV stickers are no longer available.

Thanks. Will there be more HOV stickers in Cali or is that it? Frankly that was a big reason I was considering the car.

The dealers can install leather seats. The seats are not perforated as the factory is. The can also install heaters. The wanted $1100 for the seats (front and back) and $450 for heated front seats (driver and passenger)

The Consumer Reports Buyers Guide indicates that Toyota gives the dealers a $467 hold-back. So you should assume that they will make a profit if they sell at Dealer invoice. My dealer didn;t blink at accepting $500 over invoice so I know there was a little money left on the table.

Just bought a 2008 Black Prius, Package #5 + floor mats for $23,988. Made sure that the price was set through email and telephone calls before I stepped onto the lot. The buying experience was a breeze.

That's $300 under Dealer Invoice which shows that there's always room. This amount is what Consumer Reports lists as the "Bottom-Line" price. Nice job!

Yes, I feel lucky. The dealer said that they were selling low end package #2 Prius'es like crazy (to companies wanting fleet cars) and were anxious to unload their package #5 & #6 cars in order to make room or get Toyota to send more package #2's. I shopped their $23,988 quote to 3 other dealers and the closest anyone else would get was $24,488. The others wouldn't go below $25,000.
