Hello, my data & experience. 4/23/2008, $22,900 + $389 processing fees. White, Base + Option 2. 4 miles. I spoke with 2 dealers in person and by phone. With one I only by phone. I used the Edmunds and Consumer Reports invoice pricing. I followed the basic script for getting the bottom line. One marked up the MSRP, the other came down. Neither would quote a price over or under invoice. Both dealers mentioned the 2008 Opt 2 is hard to find. One mentioned that finding the car on another dealers lot would drive the price up, since he would have to replace that car. Both dealers provided written quotes in a matter of minutes. Somehow the actual buying procedure took 2hours. I wasted about 15 minutes talking about the extended warranty. Finally I remembered my dad and brother had bought Prius' last year. I called them and then decided no on the warranty, since my brother said I could buy a warranty later. The dealer I bought from is Koon's Arlington Toyota. They had Opt 5 & 6 models on their lot, Lee Highway. Koons is a very large dealer in this area, meaning they have multiple locations. The other dealer was out in Manassas, VA. I'd love to hear an "I paid invoice or under" story, but demand is high. I wanted to wrap up the purchase last week and stay close to home. The dealer I bought from said the price would not change if I ordered one. Order time was estimate to 2-6weeks. The 2 week number makes me think this dealer has some kind of agreement in place for swapping cars with others. Hope this helps someone. |

Finally got one! Got a package #2 (12mi) in white for 23458 OTD from Beaver Toyota in Santa Fe NM. Came with with that i wanted and the people there were great. If you live in NM leave Albuquerque and go to Beaver in Santa Fe. I didnt get angry once and they actually worked with me on the purchase (had a trade in.) Thanks for all the help in this forum you all made it great! One last question I was offered the 7 yr 75,000 for a little over $1000. Should I take it or go with another dealer and shop around. I have read on here people getting it for 860 and they told me at beaver if you can find a dealer for that get it.

Replying to: jrenton7 (Apr 30, 2008 1:32 pm)  Did $23,458 include tax, tag & title but not include your trade-in? I'm dealing w/a trade-in & not thrilled w/that CarMax offered but always been told don't have trade in if possible. Tks!

I stopped at two dealers in Central CT.. One is selling the Prius cars at MSRP. No discount. The other forces you to buy the pin stripes and glass etching. No discounts. I am not going to cry if I don't get one. But, I would love to double the mileage I get in a car right now... I am not that familiar with all of the packages. I don't need a GPS, And and fancy stuff.. Alarm sys, and what ever the low end packages give... Thanks |
