| West Ashley Toyota in Charleston, SC is adverising 10 Prius in stock. I know nothing about any experience in buying a car there, but their service on my Prius bought elsewhere has been excellent. | |
Hello there, I'm thinking of buying a Prius. Problem is that I ascend steep hills twice a week for several miles up. My wife is concerned that the Prius won't do the job/ I have'nt seen one comment about its ability on the hills. Thanx.

Replying to: philmo (Jan 02, 2007 8:36 am) 1. how long have you owned it and has this level of performance persisted? I live outside of US. People are afraid to buy the prius because its an iunknown and cars here are expensive, sells for 35000+. 8 year warranty on the electric engine, but time passes quicky. 2. Has there been enough experience in the States to allay fears of high expenses down the line? 3. I understand from the forum that the 2007 has some improvements. Are they significant? Many thanks for your comment/s

Replying to: palms20 (Jan 02, 2007 2:57 pm) The current basic design has been around since 2004 so it seems odd that the car is considered "unknown" where you are. Recent changes include a Touring package with firmer suspension and full curtain airbags as standard, among other things. For just a little more money --relative to whatever they're asking where you live -- you might consider the Camry hybrid which is getting excellent reviews -- including that of my brother-in-law. who's had his a couple of weeks. That might be the way to go for a more traditional approach -- and to get a trunk.

Replying to: riposte (Jan 03, 2007 10:14 am) Perhaps your remark is better directed to the party that initiated the query. If the ocassionally tangential responses rendered are seen more as a nuisance than contributing to the ongoing development of the community then I'll withdraw. In a nutshell-- Buying experience was effortless. Paid MSRP Got the model/color I wanted in 4 days. Nothing more to add. Adios. |

| Is anyone buying Prius in SC? The dealer here said he was giving me $100 over invoice ,but his printout of the invoice listed $675 in delivery,processing and handing AND $610 for"Southeast Toyota Administrative Fee" OVER and above the base cost of $20,419 plus $4133 for pkg 5. I would REALLY appreciate hearing from recent southeast Prius buyers about these charges. When I questioned the "delivery and handling as already covered in the Edmunds number(it has it as $620), the guy said it was a different fee. I should have walked away, but I didn't. I think SC gives you 3 days to cancel. Any feedback would be great. Is this a good pkg 5 price for the area? south4 | |

Yes, your dealer is correct. I was told the same when I was looking in Florida by my dealer (and I did make the purchase). When I questioned it on this forum, this was the response: riposte Dec 14, 2006 (4:59 am) Replying to: joanner (Dec 14, 2006 4:14 am) The lucky people who live in in the South East Toyota ("SET") distributor region pay an extra $634 "SET Administration Fee", as well as an extra $55 "SET Destination Charge".
