Where to buy in Az.?

Per HTMLSpinnr's suggestion, I just put down a deposit on a 2010 at Avondale Toyota .

They are very friendly and didn't attempt to force any unwanted add-ons or sell above MSRP.

Good luck in your search!

I've been working w/ Avondale over the past week and they've been extremely helpful in battling for the customer w/ some confusion between region and Toyota. In this area, I truly wouldn't go anywhere else. They appear to be a good, honest store.

Feel free to PM me if you'd like a contact name to work with there.

I had a very good experience, got a great price and service has been phenomenal at Big Two Toyota in Gilbert. As a matter of fact, I bought my '09 at $8k below sticker (I pulled a few strings and bent a few elbows).

Any deals out there on a 2010?

How much did you put for a deposit at Avondale Toyota? When did they tell you that you probably would be able to take delivery?

Most dealers in the valley are marking up 2010's or throwing on forced dealer added accessories like alarms, tint, etc.

Avondale Toyota is dealing MSRP plus whatever port options that come from port and NO dealer add-ons. Once demand settles, they'll likely move to $500 under MSRP. This is a 1 price store though - no haggling. They do treat you VERY well, and the 7.8% sales tax rate is lowest in the valley. It's a one man show start to finish, no pressure, no "finance guy" to beat on you after 2-3 sales guys beat you into buying the car.

Picked up the first 2010 Prius in the entire SW region from them on Saturday 5/30/2009 (Prius Priority). This experience was as good as the fleet/internet person I dealt with in CA for my first two cars.

Chuck Newman, but at times the General Manager, Brad Barnett, as well as a gentleman named Chris who's on Chuck's team.

Did you use the Costco program for a 2010 Prius?

Got mine at Avondale Toyota. Great dealer. Bought 3 new cars from them so far. No non-sense and don't feel the pressure of sale.

They do not negotiate price, but they do not force add-ons, and they discount vehicles automatically if it is on promotion.
