#544 of 1207 Prius II Special Lease ($0 drive-off) by jbaek74

Aug 25, 2010 (2:09 pm)

$0 drive-off; $249/mo; 12k mi/yr
 
Is the current lease special a good deal?
Can anyone figure out what the purchase price would be for this special?
I'm trying to compare the lease special with the TrueCar best price...
 
Has anyone in So Cal get a better deal than what's being offered?
 
Thank you in advance.

#545 of 1207 Buying a Prius Help by yinxzon

Aug 26, 2010 (11:57 pm)

so i want to buy a prius 2010 and apparently no one is selling the prius i base model. so my best quote for prius 2 is around 21000+ tax+ registration (which is supposedly 1200 lower than invoice based on truecar.com). that is as low as i have gotten it on the phone. maybe another 100 when im there.
1) when should i know that i have reached the bottom? another 1000?
2) should i go by truecar.com's pricing?
3) should i wait until the beginning of the next month or just buy now?
4) im not sure whether there is a grad's program going on as someone told me that was only good for scion, camry and corollas.. if its not there, is it worth waiting until the beginning of next month or even when the 2011 model comes out in october?
 
i think the insight could be had for 18k plus tax and tag, anyone concur?
 
can anyone tell me how they figure out how far one can push a price down. is there some standard online like 90% of the invoice or something like that?
 
i think the insight could be had for 18k plus tax and tag, anyone concur?

Which dealer did you get your Prius from. How much difference was there between the sales price of the Prius and the trade-in so I can figure sales tax. I am trying to get just about the same car and am still about $1,000 apart. Appreciate your help.

Went to truecar and got a price of 24516 [msrp 26790] for the III with nav and mats. Within 15.5 miles of cincinnati. Go to the site and follow through. That's how I bought my prius -- easy. You might want to reconsider the nav -- haven't heard great things about it. Save the money and get a nice garmin.

#550 of 1207 Prius III with Navigation - $24000 + Tax + Gap by sachin24k

Aug 30, 2010 (9:48 am)

First off, many thanks to so all of you here in this forum. I could get knowledge and a good car for a decent price .. all because of this forum. Great job you guys! Thank you very much.
 
Leased 2010 Red Prius III with Navi on 31st of last month.
 
Sale Price: $24,000
Sticker: $26,750
GAP: $595
Alarm: $600
Monthly Payment: $303 (Including taxes)
Down: $0 (drive out)
Residual: $16,800
Milage: 12000 per year
 
Got floor mats, 2 year maintenance plan ... I guess it is standard with every prius. Very nice experience, no hassle, no haggle. Just called the dealership and salesman gave me a price of $24,300 which was the lowest I could find in SoCal. When I went, I gave another $300 off because it was the last day of the month!
 
Took a while to process papers, but treated with great lunch, snacks and dinner ! I went all the way from LA to El Cajon (Dealership place), dealership reimbursed the train and taxi charges!
 
I did not expect GAP + Alarm would cost another $1000, but I realized it was never mentioned with the quote, not from anyone so far...
 
anyway, overall great experience, easy sale and happy with the car.
 
Let me know if anyone of you have any question. Happy to help

#552 of 1207 Toyota $1,000 lease incentive? by dave64nj

Sep 01, 2010 (1:34 pm)

Has anyone heard anything about Toyota offering a $1,000 match on a cap cost reduction for Prius leases? A dealer mentioned to me today that Toyota just sweetened the pot. I am looking at a base Prius III and I am being quoted $197 to $201 per month with $1,000 out-of-pocket cap cost reduction plus inceptions based on the current Toyota Financial Services lease deal. Anyone have similar experience or info?

#553 of 1207 ok, I bit; now post purchase reflections by msmb

Sep 02, 2010 (6:50 pm)

Purchased a HB II in mid atlantic USA for $20781 when I drove off the lot, including carpets. Seemed to me an outstanidng price, thoughI might have quibbled a bit on the carpets and insisted on the initial price quote, which was just a smidgen lower, and ended up a few hunderd less; but from what I could see this was an outstanding price and the dealer seemed honest enough to have earned it my bit more. I suppose I should add in the $130 it cost me to go get the car and bring it home.
 
So for future reference what kind of deal was this; fair, good, or an eye popper? I welcome brutal honesty.
