Obviously I mis-read your post. I thought it was 10k miles. Odd to post how many miles are on a new car as most have under 100 in my experience so it's not a very relevant issue. So, yes you did very fine with your purchase. I dnn't get why it was a "loaner" car with 10 miles on it but whatever. Doesn't matter.
I hope your JC Penny's suits treat you well my friend. I will keep buying my "used" Nordstrom suits. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

Just got back from Wal-Mart, great stuff. I've seen a glut of cars (6-8) in that 10-20 mile range around here. They are being labeled as having been loaner cars for the dealership. Prior to this purchase I had only been looking for the past 2 months, but have noticed a "hardening" by dealerships on bargaining. An example of such is that I offered a 22K OTD deal for an actual used 08 this one w/2-3,000 miles on it. The absolute best the dealer would do is $500 off their asking 23.9K + tax/etc... Considering the almost 6% sales tax in WI I'm happy w/the result. Having done actual negotiating w/5-6 dealerships in my search I'm curious if other parts of the country are also seeing dealers being more firm? True one can always cross the street to look for the better deal, but at least in my case timing was an issue.

I agree. I guess supply outweighs demand. The whole point is to save money on gas not to give the dealers a bonus. The Honda dealers are better with their civic hybrid.

Bought Toyota Prius Touring Edition Package 6 for $25997 + tax

I bought yesterday a Silver Pine Mica Toyota Prius Touring Edition Package 6 for $25997 + tax + lic + doc fee. The OTD price was $28458. I spent about a couple of week to get the quote from 8-9 dealers in Bay Area. The best deal that I got was $25997 + tax + lic + doc fee. Some of the dealers were not even ready to match this price. Though I didn't get any freebees like free maintenance service for a year etc.
Do they usually give any incentive like free maintenance service etc ? Thanks.

bksingh - Where did you end up purchasing your Prius? I just stared looking in the Bay Area as well and the first few quotes in the San Jose Area for the same equipped vehicle are mid $27k. Thanks.

 25997 seems like a great price. I live in LA and have started shopping for a prius about 2 weeks ago and no one has prices that low. So far the lowest I've seem is arouns $26,800. When you negotiated the price with the dealer what did you do? Just offer an amount and say take it or leave it? Was it hard to get that price for the package #6? I'm just curious since I plan to buy next week and want to know what to expect. - Bob

I bought it from Piercy Toyota as they had the color that I wanted. Steven creek Toyota also had one with the same color but they had 186 mile on it whereas Piercy toyota had one with just 1 mile on it. Since both were ready to match the price, I went with Piercy. Sunnyvale, Tracy, and Melody Toyota said they'll not go below the invoice price and not match the price. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I sent emails to almost all the toyota dealers in the area aking them to send a price quote for toyota prius touring pkg 6. Some replied and some of them sent quote by emails whereas some aked to come to their office to discuss. I was able to negotiate with one of them for $25997 and asked him to send them the quote by email. Then I send another round of emails asking them to beat or match the price for the color I wanted. No one was ready to beat whereas a couple of them were ready to match. That convinced me that probably I am getting a fair deal. So I went with Piercy Toyota who were ready to match the price had one Silver Pine Mica Touring edition pkg 6 with just 1 mile on it Hope this helps. Gool luck with your search for your dream prius.

Thanks for the advice. I did the same thing earlier today and got close to 20 quotes. Found a few dealers in the $26900 range, one at $26,700 and one dealer for $26,350. Several of the dealers said they would match, so I'm going to see if anyone can match/beat $26,350 for a Prius package 6.
