Replying to: barginb (Jan 26, 2009 12:10 am) Thanks - like your idea of going right to sales manager with an overall price, and yup, I agree it's near-impossible to know "what the dealer has paid."   Ain't car salesman/managers a hoot? Laughing at offers in a down down economy...makes me want to laugh right back.

#1767 of 1971 $3100 Below MSRP at in Santa Cruz by jhwvertigo Jan 27, 2009 (11:33 am)
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. Replies to this message: Robynn (Jan 27, 2009 12:36 pm) jhwvertigo (Jan 27, 2009 3:04 pm)

Replying to: jhwvertigo (Jan 27, 2009 11:33 am) Hi, I was wondering if they deliver the car to you or you'd have to go up there to pick it up. Thanks Replies to this message: jhwvertigo (Jan 27, 2009 3:04 pm)

Replying to: Robynn (Jan 27, 2009 12:36 pm) I went there to pick it up. I flew up on a free ticket, had a friend take me to the dealership and drove back--all in one day. It was a bit of hassle, but given the cost savings--worthwhile.

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.
#1772 of 1971 Invoice price -- by Robynn Jan 28, 2009 (9:44 pm)
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.   Replies to this message: joeforjob (Jan 29, 2009 8:13 am)

Replying to: Robynn (Jan 28, 2009 9:44 pm) I never believe any dealer's invoice price. BTW, which package are you talking about? Thanks.
#1774 of 1971 Invoice price - package 5 by Robynn Jan 29, 2009 (8:36 am)
i got 2 Vehicle Inquiry Reports, they are almost identical in Retail price (aka MSRP) and Dealer price (invoice) except package 5 (that is what i'm looking for). Dealer #1's report shows higher prices (retail and dealer) which are matched with Toyota website, edmunds, other auto websites. Dealer #2's report shows lower prices (retail and dealer) consistently and I can't find either price anywhere except on this report. Is that possible there are two MSRP for the same package? The description of package 5 on both reports is identical. Is second dealer phishing to reel me in the dealer? so shall I accept the second dealer price w/o questioning. am i too paranoid?   dealer #1 is 30 miles away dealer #2 is 300 miles away
