#1750 of 1971 Confused: 2008 Used Prius Cheaper than 2009?!! by newhonda4me Jan 21, 2009 (4:32 pm)
Hi, I'm in PA and was considering trading in my Accord for a Prius. Im attracted to a used 2008, base Package #2 with 13,000 miles which has a 100000 mile warranty worth $1400. So here is my dilemma: a dealer is offering a new 2009 at $23234 (inludes the $750 incentive), but the used 2008 is $24389. I cannot understand how they expect to sell a used car for more than the used car. This makes the new car attractive, but shouldn't I get a better price on the used car? Any insight is welcomed. I also understand the 2010 is being introduced in a few months and the price of the 2009 is expected to drop or be sold as a lease car.   Should I just get the new car or try to deal down the used car?

#1751 of 1971 Prius invoice confusion by dogsonboard Jan 21, 2009 (7:05 pm)
Call me confused: I'm getting "vehicle inquiry report" pricing from dealers that includes the following line-items, all added to get the "invoice price":   Base price + options + destination charge + TDA + gasoline + dealer holdback + Whsl. Financial Reserve.   This seems wacky -- aren't holdback and fin. reserve, the last two items, amounts that the manufacturer gives to the dealer to compensate them? I'm thinking those should not be added to get a true invoice cost that the dealer has incurred -- the dealer hasn't paid holdback or fin. reserve, have they?   Oh, and TDA, which a dealer has explained as a share of national advertising costs -- is that in your experience negotiable?   TIA.

Replying to: newhonda4me (Jan 21, 2009 4:32 pm) For me, I will definitely get a new one because I can get sales tax exemption in WA but not for an used one. At the same time, that 100,000 mile warranty is standard, which means you also can get it if you buy a new 2009 Prius. I prefer to get a new car, but it is your decision.

Replying to: skeptical (Aug 04, 2008 7:17 am) Hello I am really surprised at the price you paid. I was just quoted 24800 O T D in Reno Nevada for a 2009 and I thought that was 600 dollars to much. Could this be because you purschasedyour Prius in August when the prices were high?
#1754 of 1971 Re: Confused: 2008 Used Prius Cheaper than 2009?!! [Sunny369] by newhonda4me Jan 23, 2009 (6:32 pm)
Replying to: Sunny369 (Jan 22, 2009 10:31 pm) See, that's why I'm confused. I'd prefer new too, but it's the warranty that's the attaction. In WA I'd make the same decision as you. Here in PA, there's no longer any tax exemption and the warranty is only for 36000 miles. Only the used Prius have a 100000 mile warranty. Thanks so much for your insight though!!!

Replying to: wyldmike (Oct 31, 2008 10:50 am) is it after 1000 factory rebate or before? I think price is very good if it is before factory rebate

Replying to: newhonda4me (Jan 23, 2009 6:32 pm) I bought a new 2009 package 2 prius back in October and the warranty is 36000 miles bumper to bumper. 100000 on the hybrid system. Then I also believe the drive train was warrantied for 60000 miles. I would think a used prius would carry any remaining warranty depending upon how many miles they put on it.

Replying to: dogsonboard (Jan 21, 2009 7:05 pm) We just took delivery of our 2009 Prius with package # 2. The vehicle inquiry report had the same stuff as yours. It was very confusing so we said we don't care about all this mumbo Jumbo, we would like the car for this price. We were about $1200.00 apart so we agreed to split the difference. we got the car for $23000.00 plus taxes. We may have shaved $300 off that but we didn't feel like going through the hassle of driving 30 miles to the nearest other dealer and starting all over again. Our advice is to forget all the charges they add on, just give them the lowest price you are willing to pay and deal from there. When we got the invoice all the numbers had been adjusted to the price. Replies to this message: dogsonboard (Jan 25, 2009 9:28 pm)
