#1398 of 1660 Re: Pacakge 2 in AZ [goldmantx] by railroadjames Apr 16, 2008 (10:14 am)
Replying to: goldmantx (Apr 15, 2008 9:10 pm) If I may, I'd like to just say.....If the price is several hundred dollars then perhaps it's worth haggling but if it is just a few dollars more importantly check out the dealer's service satisfaction and how well customers feel safe and reliable with them. My dealer has been exemplery in all respects. That was more important to me than a few dollars. Funny thing back when we first bought our '04 Prius was getting the color we wanted. Blue was a must and that was worth the wait (3 months). to us.
#1399 of 1660 Los Angeles, Calif: Prius Package 2 OTD for 24K by gotkrus Apr 16, 2008 (3:21 pm)
I am getting OTD quotes for 24,500 and up (25K) for a Package 2. I think I may be able to negotiate it down to 24k OTD, but is that even a good deal? What do you think? Can I do better? If so, how much better?   The Prius Package 2 seems to be difficult to find and hard to negotiate as they are super popular in California.   THANKS!!
#1400 of 1660 Prius Pkg #5 - Los Angeles by kenny081 Apr 16, 2008 (7:34 pm)
I'm in search of a Base Prius with Pkg#5.   One of the quotes I got was $26,840 OTD from Longo Toyota and I'm still working with the others. The guy said it was about $100 over invoice and he gave me a $400 graduate discount.   No. Hollywood was quoting me at $26,334.00   Has anyone gotten a better deal in the Los Angeles Area? Or can anyone recommend what I should do to get a better price?

Replying to: jrenton7 (Apr 12, 2008 10:54 pm) Did you get the used one? Have you tried the Santa Fe dealer- they seem more flexible. I've been watching/looking in NM for awhile now. Let me know how you do and if you buy new or used. GOOD LUCK!

#1403 of 1660 Paid $23,459.71+++ or $24,900 OTD W\Package #2 by dougpierce Apr 16, 2008 (10:15 pm)
Went to (Toyota of Gastonia) by Charlotte, NC and after a few trips back and forth we settled on 2008 Prius with package 2 for $24,900 out the door (all taxes & fees included). They didn't have a Prius on the lot but could get one in a day or two. We'll see if the wait's that short, but either way I don't care. I can wait and I think I got a deal that was fair for the both of us. They didn’t make t easy though; I had to work for it. The problem for consumers is that dealers can't keep the cars on the lots (much like the VW Bug or resent Mustang craze) so it makes negotiating difficult. They know they will sell it to the guy behind you if you’re not going to pay their price. My saving grace was that I was willing to wait and bought without a trade in. Here's a tip for all of you who aren’t in the know; don’t bring a trade to the table if you can help it. They just use the trade as leverage to work the numbers against you anyway. Sell it before buying and if you just can't wait than try a CarMax dealership. They normally give you $2k more than the dealer if the cars in good condition. I hope this helps you make better choices. Replies to this message: sharon22 (Apr 20, 2008 9:35 am) dougpierce (Apr 24, 2008 1:23 pm)
#1404 of 1660 regional prices by 3c3 Apr 17, 2008 (2:28 am)
If a dealer cannot keep the cars on the lot, you don't really have much bargaining power, so expect to pay close to MSRP. When I bought my pkg#2 at the end of February, some dealers in Northern California had over a *HUNDRED* Priuses in stock, and many people paid for less than the invoice prices.

#1406 of 1660 Should I buy a 2002 Prius? by janeov Apr 19, 2008 (5:00 pm)
My son will be commuting to college in the fall, so a Prius makes sense. My son-in-law can get me a 2002 Prius with 60K for about $8,000.   1. Does this sound like a good deal? Don't know what's on it.   2. What's this thing I hear about changing the batteries and costing a few thousand?   Please enlighten me.

Replying to: bakaroni (Feb 28, 2007 11:19 pm) I am currently residing in the San Francisco Bay Area and was wondering which dealership you went to for that great deal.
