Invoice price - package 5 by Robynn
Jan 29, 2009 (8:36 am)
Reply
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.

I bought a Prius with Package 3 today. The sale price is $22,500 before $500 rebate in NY. The total amount is around $24,7**.**. I really appreciated a lot of people shared their experience here.

Sounds like a good price. What sorts of fees were added to $22K net to get to $24.7?
 
In WA, our dealers are playing hard to buy from -- tons of stock, juicy 2010 comin' soon, yet holding out for $23.5-$25K. I'm not buying until they get real, as apparently is the case in NY and the DC area (see fitzmall.com).
 
My thought is the value of a Pkg 3 P., right now with most folks avoiding hybrids b/c economy sucks *and* gas is cheapish again, is in the $21.5-$22.8 range, plus tax, docs, title.

Split window always? by dogsonboard
Feb 01, 2009 (12:57 pm)

Maybe should be in another forum, and definitely shows my ignorance...but we've seen some new-ish Prii (Priora?) on the road lately that, from the outside, appear to *not* have split rear window.
 
Are we seeing correctly, and if so, which years / models do *not* have split rear window?

Yeah, we've been having troubles too with package 3. In California, the best deal we could come up with was:
 
Invoice Price $24,251.00
All Weather Mats 103.00
Sales Tax 1,952.72
DMV Charges 225.00
Total Other Fees 111.75
Less: Rebate -1,000.00
Total Price $25,643,47
 
Considering some of the deals we've been seeing with package #5 and #6... this seemed way overpriced to us. But none of the dealerships in norcal would budge for a package 3.

Let me know if I am missing something, but based on what Robynn posted, why not pay $500 more and get a package #5 at Santa Cruz, which includes package 3, HID headlights and Navi.
