Replying to: fursat (Oct 14, 2009 6:55 am) First what do you know about this guy's business? is he going to be there next year, or even tomorrow? Is he a mini-Bernie Madoff? If he is you'll be paying for service and warranty you never receive? Second even if this guy or Toyota are legit., you may have to fight to get a repair reimbursed. Third, even if it is legit, the people offering these plans would not be offering them if they did not on-average charge more than they pay out! They are not going to be in business if on-average they collect $1,500 from you, pay out $2,000 and have administrative costs of $250 (reading your claims, sending out checks, postage), and earning a living. So typically and on-average you will not get as much value as you put in. You might as well go to Vegas and play roulette where there are 38 numbers and you'll get paid 35:1 when your number hits. At least you'll get to socialize and get some free drinks.

I just picked up a Blizzard Pearl Prius III in Concord NH for 24,170, minus the $4,000 trade value of my 2003 Subaru Forester with 219,000 miles. The dealer's web site had a Black Book valuation page which stated that my Forester had a value of between $3,600 and $5,300. Once in the dealership, they trashed the Black Book web site and offered $2,000 for my car. I left, emailed them a copy of the BB valuation and suggested that, if they didn't consider the BB value, why offer it on their web site? They came back with the $4,000 offer. Bottom line, Prius II for 20,170.

I am considering ordering a Pkg III with sunroof/navi package in the color I prefer. One dealer estimates 6 weeks from order date. If anyone has recently ordered a 2010 Prius, how long for delivery? Also, what discount did you negotiate for the ordered car? The car will not be on dealer's lot or inventory for more than 1-2 days. Thank you in advance. |

What do you guys think?  I just got back from Toyota dealership where they were offering me Prius 2010 III with dealer installed heated leather seats (front driver & passenger). Im very tempted, but held myself to see what you guys think? Is it a good deal? here is what the breakdown came down to $22,400 - '10 Prius III (invoice + destination per the dealer) $1100 - for dealer installed heated leather seats Is it worth the money to have dealer installed heater leather seats? thank you for your suggestions/comments in advance, Fu

Replying to: techfu (Oct 30, 2009 11:41 am) According to zag.com, for '10 type III ($750 destination charge included): - Dealer true cost: $22,032 - Dealer invoice: $22,492 so you are below their invoice |
