#647 of 1971 Re: SoCal Package 5 Purchase [jffoley] by cruising7388 Apr 13, 2007 (1:20 pm)
Replying to: jffoley (Apr 13, 2007 12:56 pm) Your experience with the finance dept is unfortunately more the rule than the exception. The finance guys typically don't know a spark plug from a tail pipe and have been known to misrepresent details regarding financing, leasing and the extended warranty. It's an unfortunate hustle that the industry could well do without.   Nice price on the package 5. I purchased a 2006 package 7 which has the same bells and whistles and it cost me 28,760 before T & L. Things have really changed for the better for Prius buyers.

#649 of 1971 NYC metro - Prius Pkg #1 by olschool Apr 14, 2007 (6:21 am)
Based on what I have seen here I just got an average deal on a base model Prius. If I had of been willing to pay more and get the additional options I may have been able to save more, or maybe I should have negotiated harder.   Prius with pkg #1 (backup camera, mats, smart key).   My out the door price including all taxes etc was $24,577. Basic price for the car without the taxes etc was $22,500.   I took the 0% financing deal for 24 months.   Finished the deal in March so I will get the Federal tax rebate of $1500, on next years return.   t

Replying to: jffoley (Apr 13, 2007 12:56 pm) Congrats jffoley! Seems like there are some nice deals out there now.   Yesterday was able to get a basic with Pkg 5 for $23,774 ($600 under invoice). The internet/fleet sales person, Karinne Kobe at South Coast Toyota in Costa Mesa, CA was really great to work with. Every item that I got a low price on elsewhere, she matched. She matched the $990 for the 7/100K/0 extended warranty as well at the best prices I found for gap insurance ($395) and LoJack ($695). She also threw in the $300 coupon book. The finance guy that does the final paper work was really low pressure. The whole deal went smooth.   I know that many have said the gap insurance isn't worth it, but I'm financing 100% of the deal and for $395 it's good piece of mind.

Replying to: maddmike (Apr 15, 2007 11:10 am) You got an exceptional deal! I paid four thousand more for the equivalent package a year ago when they were as scarce as hens' teeth.   FYI, the forum moderators are OK with mentioning a particular dealership but they prefer that we not include the name of a particular employee at the dealership.   On a 100% finance, what interest do you end up paying and how long is the finance period?
#654 of 1971 Leasing a Prius by 10538h Apr 16, 2007 (2:09 pm)
Is this a terrible idea? I love the Prius but don't know if I can spring enough to afford financing and purchasing. I have learned a lot so far but am still rather inexperienced in regards to buying/leasing in general.   Is this not the best car to lease?   Thank you Replies to this message: carlstraub (Apr 16, 2007 7:33 pm)

#656 of 1971 Alarm activation on new 2007 Prius by wooha2000 Apr 17, 2007 (12:59 pm)
Firstly - OFF TOPIC but related to new car purchase.   Does anyone know if you can still get alarm (RS3200) activated via following instructions below... supposed the Alarm system comes equiped in all of the PRIUS but is not activated. There are a couple of Toyota PDF available but I can't seem to get them. If someone has them can they PM me and forward me a .PDF copy.   My dealer that I am buying the my 07 Touring Prius will activate my alarm for free, I am wanting to validate the instructions.   They are absolutely wrong from a technical perspective. A poster, Kyle, who is a TOYOTA MASTER TECH has done it. Now from an ethical perspective, they could refuse, but they should state that they refuse due to ethical reasons and not hide behind false technical reasons. Doing that makes them look ignorant and incompetent to be techs. What do they call the TVIP V5 RS3200, chicken liver? It is part # 08586-47840 as opposed to part # 08586-47840 on the GBS install. Hey! Notice they are the same part number? Fancy that! the former was taken from w141rs32.pdf, the latter from w141gbs.pdf, both obtained from TechInfo. QUOTE" Have them humor you and follow the following steps. These steps assume GBS has NOT been installed yet. I have bolded the parts that actually enable the alarm, skipping through the dull details. If the GBS has been installed, then again, a yellow wire has to be removed. The installation instructions mis-labels the connector to the body ECU. I believe the correct connector number is 1K rather than 16P shown in the instructions   H. Security Setting Procedure. NOTE: Check for the latest version of the software on Toyota Information System (TIS) before setting up the security system. NOTE: Ensure the software is the latest version (Production Version 10.2a. (07/18/03) or later.) NOTE: Download the latest software from Toyota Information System (TIS). 1. Connect the scan tool connector to the vehicle's diagnostic connector in the lower dash area. (Fig. H-1) 2. Insert the remote key or smart key (as appropriate) into the key slot. Press the power button once to select "ACC" position. i. Verify the shift position is in "N" position and LED on "P" switch is illuminated. 3. Push the scan tool main switch "ON" and then press the ENTER key. (Fig. H-2) "SELECT VEHICLE PROCESS 4. Select the correct vehicle application, Prius MY2004 . "SECURITY FUNCTION ON" PROCESS 5. Verify the connection of the DLC3 Cable. Press the "YES" button to continue. (Fig. H-3) 6. Select "OPTION SETUP" in the customize menu with the scroll key, then press the "ENTER" key. (Fig. H-4) 7. Press the "ENTER" key to select "DOP SECURITY" in the Option Setup menu. (Fig. H-5) 8. Select "ON" with the scroll key, then press the "ENTER" key. (Fig. H-6) 9. Press the "YES" key. (Fig. H-7) 10. Press the "ENTER" key. (Fig. H-8) END QUOTE"
