Replying to: indianajohns (Jun 11, 2008 7:54 pm) That is a new one for me. So far as I know Toyota is considering a plug-in hybrid, which is still gasoline electric. The usefulness of this technology depends upon Li-Ion battery technology being able to support it. "In 5 years gas/electric hybrids will be yesterday's news and you won't see people paying $27k for a car worth at best $15,000 brand new regardless of what technology it uses to get 45MPG's." I see no reason for Toyota to decrease the price. With gas prices as high as they are (and unlikely to be lower), I think that they will keep the price about where it is. If anything, the lower cost cars may have a hybrid option - and would would cost more. However, I do agree with you. As the batteries age and the cars near their 150K / 10 year warranty on the hybrid parts, plus the fact that newer models will most likely have better technology, the resale values are likely to be depressed, at least somewhat. Right now there is an anomaly, as people experience gas price shock... |

Replying to: sergelbergeron (Jun 12, 2008 4:51 pm) Read back through the forum, the prices are there. I think that most are paying from 300 below MSRP to 3K above MSRP (IIRC from my reading this forum). Depends on the dealer, the part of the country (SE US is more expensive), and if the dealer managed to get add-ons put on the vehicle.

| Toyota of Santa Maria, CA. Current quote: Prius6 with mats, $30,800 OTD, 6week-6month wait. Extended warranty, 6yr/100k, was $1100 in Oct, probably higher now. | |

First NEVER buy a warranty not backed by the manufacturer. When it comes to factory warranties, you have the piece of mind that Toyota or Ford is backing the warranty. Second, consumer reports stated in the april issue that most people come out behind on a warranty purchase by about $300.00 (ie the cost of the repairs or benefits they received during the life of the warranty was $300.00 less than the cost of the warranty. Third, never forget that EVERYTHING you pay for at a car dealership is negotiable. SO just make sure you get a $300 discount of the price of the warranty  Mark

Replying to: stevedebi (Jun 13, 2008 11:51 am)  Delivery whatever the window sticker says is the price. There was talk that we were going to start charging $1000 over MSRP like the other dealerships around here but I don't think we will be.

there has been a 1.8% increase for Toyota, which still makes since looking at inflation as well as the technology has been improving with no cost transferred to the customer untill now- a package #2 HG was listed around $23,989 now going to $24,309 with this new increase. Mainly due to the demand, production is at max capacity.
