On PriusChat, in CA and all across the country, there are several people getting their Prius at MSRP. I don't know what kind of lease deal you will get but if you shop around the cars are finally hitting the dealers and they are available, with some short term shortages in high demand areas. |

Replying to: kyfdx (Jun 16, 2009 3:23 pm) Buying from a Toyota dealer co-located with the region point of entry gives the option of negotiating for car with exactly what you want and minimizing shipping costs from the port of entry. Be sure to insist on "no port or dealer options without prior approval." They may ask for a deposit so send a check with a letter contract that specifies exactly what you want ... register the letter. The time for letting local dealers dictate a one-sided contract has to end and the way to do it is buy from a dealer who will sell what you want. As for price negotiation, well some people like it ... I hate it. Bob Wilson

FYI Jim Coleman Toyota is sticking to MSRP for the 2010 Prius. Even after I meniton invoice, they act like "invoice" isn't in their vocabulary. MSRP is their mantra. |

Replying to: greenlion (Jun 14, 2009 9:44 am) I live in LA as well and I've been doing weeks of research on this subject. I've decided it's far less expensive to buy the car in the long run because TFS charges such a high MF and I drive about 5k miles a year so my resale value will hold. Also you can get a loan from penfed.com for 3.99%. Your lease does seem a little high for the Pkg 2 and should be more $352 incl. tax with $580 for cap reduction, which adds up to your quoted $1375. That's assuming a Gross Cap of $23,600 ($22750 msrp, $650 fee, $200 mats). You should download the Excel lease form from www.carbuyingtips.com/lease.htm Hope that helps.

Replying to: zencar (Jun 21, 2009 1:23 pm) I just thought I would share my buying experience as well. I just purchased a 2010 Prius in the mid-west and because I was upside down on my current loan paid sticker price. However, I think they would have negotiated a bit more had I not needed to get more for my trade in. And... for the record I LOVE my new car so far! It's averaging 54 mpg on highway/city mileage which is awesome! My Camry barely got 27 mpg and that was on a good day! |

For anyone who's recently bought a '10 Prius, what interest rate did you pay? Was it a Toyota-financed loan, or your bank / credit union? Trying to figure out what's a reasonable rate...

I got a Prius V with Nav on 6/29 from City Toyota in the Bay Area for $28,888. MSRP was $30,020.
