Replying to: Robynn (Jan 25, 2009 6:48 pm)  Could you please tell me where to check the invoice prices for base model + different packages? I kept seeing you guys mentioning that here. And about the cash rebate, I am a little confused too. It seems the cash rebate is not all the same. I thought the cash rebate for Prius is 750, but why I also saw 1000, 500 here?

We are in Nevada. We had to go back to the dealer four times before we got that price.We didn't mess with all the salesmen. We found out the name of the sales manager and dealt directly with him. When we got the final contract the $23000 was nowhere to be seen. neither was the TDA, Dealer holdback and all that other junk. They juggled the figures to meet the agreed price. They did talk us into the extended warranty which we thought was okay because we plan to keep the car for a long time. They happened to have the color we wanted and there were eight other ones on the lot. If you have to be put on a waiting list then we are not sure if they would be willing to negotiate. The sales tax in Nevada is 7.75 which adds another almost $1800. We hear people on this forum talk about invoice but it is almost impossible to know exactly what the dealer has paid.We started off offering $22500 which they laughed at but it gave us a starting point. Good luck

I live in the Los Angeles area and found that dealers were only will to go $1500 to $1800 below list. I noticed that the factory incentive in the Bay Area was $1000 (as opposed to $500 in LA) so I started looking at all the Bay Area Toyota dealer websites. I noticed that Toyota of Santa Cruz was offering the Prius with Package 6 for $3000 off MSRP plus a $100 gas card. I tried to get dealers here to match--no go. One got down to $2400 off. So, I went to Santa Cruz and I brought the car. The list was $28844, but with the dealer discount, the factory rebate and the $100 for gas (they ended up just giving me a check instead of a gas card), my price was $25744. Invoice was $26895.52 Dealership and salesperson were vey nice.

Wow, 25,744 for a package 6? It is really nice. I still want to wait a few more months to make my purchase, but I don't want to buy the 2010 model. I am a little concerned about new models. I kinda feel old models may be more reliable. Hope there still will be all the different kinds of discounts and rebates that time.

is it possible to see two different invoice price from different dealer? i'm comparing two print-outs I got from two dealers and for the same package, one dealer has it listed $900 less than the other dealer.
