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.

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.

I never believe any dealer's invoice price. BTW, which package are you talking about?
Thanks.

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

Price check for NorCal by melalthia

Hi there
 
So after calling around to different dealers, the best price we can seem to get for a 2009 base Prius with package #3 and the only extra being all weather floor mats is $25,643. This is including sales tax and fees. With our financing i think the total will be 2 thousand more.
 
What do you think? You think this is fair for that model and specs? Nobody seems willing to beat that price and we've tried a few tricks. The only thing we haven't been willing to do is haggle between two different car makes because we haven't been willing to commit to going with another hybrid if the prius doesn't work out. (And i've been told that's what you need to be willing to do..)
 
Any suggestions would be helpful!

hmm.. I don't know if I want to go 300 miles to get my car. But I did get a pricing from this dealer. You should check with them again. Toyota recently lowered invoice/msrp price for packages. i am not sure about other packages but for me package 5 and package 6 price change is significant.
 
the MSRP changes has shown in Los angeles so I'm getting similar price except the Rebate ($500 as compared to $1000 in the Bay area). I wonder why.
 
if you go to toyota website, you will see the latest MSRP. a lot lower than what is listed on Edmunds or other auto website.
 
+++ for your reference +++
Below is the deal i got for the base model with package 5 at santa cruz
 
Model #1224 Toyota Prius
Package(s):
P Z1 Carpet Floor Mats & Cargo Mat, Cargo Net, First Aid Kit
Accessories:
F FE 50 State Emissions
F HZ Includes: Cruise Control,
F NL PACKAGE #5 INCLUDES: Voice-Activated DVD

MSRP: $27,554
Dealer Invoice: $25,057
Direct Sales Price: $200 Under Dealer Invoice!
 
Sell Price: $24,857+ fees (document fee)
Less Factory Rebate Expires 01/07/09
 
Final Price: $23,857 + fees (taxes and license)
 
I used my own excel, 8.25% taxes ($1968.2), 1% license ($238) , $55 document fee, $8.75 tire fees ==> total should be $26,128 (Out the door)
 
Total after 5 years of financing depends on the rate you get. I think credit union has 5.5% APR.
