#617 of 1971 Incentives by acdii Apr 07, 2007 (2:55 pm)
4/1 was the last day for the special financing on the Prius, so the incentives would not have been applied had they even known about them. Figure it this way, which costs less, a $2000 incentive, or 2.9% financing? Over 5 years, the financing on my base+1 is less than $1500 over 5 years. If I didnt get the special rate, the standard would be roughly 6.9% or higher. I think I came out ahead and would prefer the lower financing. Getting both would be awesome, but dealers dont normally do that unless the manufacturer allows it, and most do not, it's either or. Rough guesstimate is about $2200 diffence between 2.9 and 6.9%.
#618 of 1971 Brand new and trying to make sense -- help please by jakester2 Apr 07, 2007 (11:22 pm)
I have just been looking at the Prius and decided it's a "go." I visited a dealer today in the LA area where I live who was offering a package 6 for $25,744 (they said on special until Monday). I would like a low payment, think I might need 15k mileage but might go with 12k. I could buy or lease -- my credit union has a 5.49% interest rate I could get but without putting anything down the monthly payment is more than the Lexus ES 300 I'll be trading in on lease.   What should I watch out for and expect to pay for a monthly lease for that price...and is that a good price?   The dealer only has grey and silver at this price and I did not know if this price was something to jump on or not, given that I might want a different color.

Replying to: jakester2 (Apr 07, 2007 11:22 pm) Hi, That seems a very good price for pkg #6. Edmunds.com invoice is $26.3K.   There are many pkg 5 & 6 available in Southern Calif. Ask the dealer to do a dealer trade for the color you want.   We bought 2 new pkg #2 cars at end of Feb. Had very good dealer experience in both Simi Valley and Culver City. If you want the names email me. Carl malibucarlhotmail.com
#620 of 1971 On the Learning Curve by jakester2 Apr 09, 2007 (1:22 pm)
Today I got a call back on a package 6 in SoCal for 25,566 PLUS tax, doc and license which they estimated at 10%...that makes this package now above 28k which does not seem like such a good deal all of a sudden. Am I missing something here?   The lease they quoted me was $500 / month which is more than my Lexus has been costing me...with 20k miles/year (the Prius would be only 12k/year). Am I shopping for the wrong car or with the wrong people?   What is a reasonable target price? The Edmonds numbers say 26.3 but isn't that "all in?" without tacking on taxes, etc.?

Replying to: jakester2 (Apr 09, 2007 1:22 pm) Hi, Of course not. Every State and locality are different. IMO -- All you can do is get the deal you want considering the Invoice, MSRP, payments, etc. Tax is a percentage of purchase price, License is a set amount I believe. Carl

Replying to: jakester2 (Apr 09, 2007 1:22 pm) Hi, the best quote I've got in socal for a package 6 (since the new incentives) is $26,017. Do you mind telling me which dealer offered you 25,566? After all my research that looks like a very good number... at invoice. Replies to this message: jakester2 (Apr 10, 2007 10:53 pm) womble (Apr 11, 2007 6:22 am)

#624 of 1971 Prius in Colorado mountains by tamari Apr 10, 2007 (6:54 am)
Anyone from Colorado out there own a Prius? If so, how does it do climbing up I-70, and how does it perform in the snow?   Thanks. Replies to this message: esondeen (Apr 10, 2007 8:39 am) tamari (Apr 11, 2007 10:14 pm)

Replying to: tamari (Apr 10, 2007 6:54 am) We recently took our LOADED DOWN Prius with four adults, camping gear, and hitch mounted Thule cargo box to Canyonlands over Eisenhower and Vail in snow.   The car pulled well with it's Michelin ICE-X tires to 44 PSI front and 42 PSI back. Just at the tunnel approaches it slowed to about 55 MPH (last 1/2 m); otherwise it pulled at "highway speeds" (I won't elaborate).   47 MPG over the 800 mile trip.
