I had a 03 HCH, and just yesterday bought a 08 Prius with 17,000 miles on it for $19,900. I loved my HCH, but the wife had an accident in it and totaled it. Like I said, I only bought the Prius yesterday (11/22/08), but so far I really like the cars ride and all the little extras like the back up camera, integrated I-pod port, and the smart key. I've always really liked the Toyota Hybrid system. Hopefully, I can get the same MPG out of the Prius as I did the HCH, which was around 45 MPG.

You will get every bit of 45MPG , but I would guess about 48 to 50. Enjoy your new toy they are fun.

I purchased a 05 prius on ebay not knowing anything about this model except the price I got it for was $10500 with 100300 miles on it. knowing a toyota with that milage means its just broken in .. this thing is fully loaded to my surprise. can toyota build a car with engineering nobody else can touch. let alone no recalls
speaking of recalls vw is coming out with one called 2+2 can you imagine the amount of visits to the dealership to get it fixed..
the only complaint is the nav disk update is a bit pricey when google give it for free

I just got quoted $25,877 OTD for a Package 3. That includes $339 Tag/Tax/Title fee.
 
Personally, I'm thinking I should get the price closer to $25k, but I'm not sure if that's realistic.

According to Edmunds, they quoted you about $1400 over invoice, plus the tag/tax/title fee, which also includes profit for them. Not to mention that the dealer also gets the holdback, which is I think two or three percent. I am getting phone calls frequently from dealers who know I'm thinking of buying. When I went into a dealership to test drive on Wed afternoon, there was absolutely no one in the place. I would bargain very hard - things are completely different from where they were this past summer.

paid about invoice, but what a battle by deltaforce

Just bought a new package #2 today for $23890, but what a battle.The car I had been bargaining for on the internet was sold by the time I got to the dealer. Needless to say I was a little upset. Now is the time to buy. I walked out three times and they kept luring me back. I think I could have saved a couple extra hundred, but four hours later I was spent. It really pays to do your homework on all the package deals and cost. Numbers were flying like fur at a cat fight. This was not the experience I had hoped for. I thought dealing on the internet would save me all the hassle.

It must have been late that night that I wrote about my purchase experience because I actually paid $22890. Invoice was $23068 I still think in retrospect that I paid too much given the economy. $22688 should had been my target. I still ended up with the color I wanted, so I can't kick myself too hard.

Was it a 2009 base model package 2? What part of the country are you located in?

The question is, are you pleased with your purchase? If so, don't mind what we tell you. If you feel you got the car for a good price do you need verification from us to confirm this?
 
Be happy with your purchase.
