"Note that the Touring model will be in short supply next year (2008) so be prepared to jump if you find one."
 
Why would this be?

You'd have to ask Toyota why. A dealer has posted his allotment for 2008. It was something like 3500 Prius, with only 135 being Touring. That was in California. Perhaps the Touring isn't selling well?
 
There are a lot of people who just buy on price. The Touring tends to be equipped with more "options", so appears a lot more expensive. If you look closely, however, you will see it is only a few hundred more than a similarly equipped standard model.
 
There has been a report that Toyota will also release a "stripped" model in 2008 in the US (no options), for a little less than the current lowest package. Perhaps this is a clue that the majority of people really do buy on price alone. I personally buy the options I want, rather than trying to get the lowest price by buying a stripped car.
 
All this is probably Toyota "slotting in" the car against the competition (price wise).

Great deal! Thanks for posting. Can you PM the name of your salesman? I'll try and get the same deal.

Michael Chung. (Toyota sunnyvale)
 
My calculated guess is that this month end they should sell this car (PKG#2) for 300-500 below invoice. I had 2 dealers with same price. Another was Gilroy. Gilroy has 2-3 cars left from previous month stock. You should bargain for 300-500) below invoice for that.

Does anybody know the details of the new "Lots on the Lot" campaign? Does it include any deals for Prius?

Any body know if 2008 prices will go up. I am also "booked" for a 2007 Prius and am wondering if I should hold off.

Hey all, my wife and I just picked up a 2007 Prius Model 1224C with Package #2 today in Orlando, FL. Here's what we paid:
 
Selling Price: $23171
Dealer Service Fee: $600
State Sales Tax: $1336
County Tax: $25
Tag/Title Fee: $125
 
For a total of $25257 out-the-door. They also gave us $1500 for our trade-in of a fair condition 1994 Honda Accord EX.
 
My wife is convinced we got jammed hard, but I want to run it by you guys to see what you think.

Did you get jammed? Yep, IMO, you got jellied and jammed.
 
MSRP for a Package #2 Prius is $22175 plus the destination fee of $660 for a total vehicle cost of $23,410. You paid the dealer $23,171 plus a dealer ripoff of $600 for a total of $23,771. So you ended up paying $600 over MSRP. Edmunds reports an average purchase pricea (TMV) of $22,293 or about $1400 less than you paid for the vehicle.
