How to buy in Az.

Well, with all my trials and tribulations in buying in the Phoenix area, I finally solved them and bought a week ago.

After having initial favorable impressions switch to unfavorable and unfavorable first impressions switch to favorable regarding certain dealers, this was solved by use of the buying service I hooked up with on Ebay. I went to the Ebay Motors site searching for a new Prius and found it, of all places. I then selected the model I wanted plus options and color and heard from three different local dealers within a half hour via email or phone. One (who didn't have the car yet in stock) offered me the car $816 over invoice, one was at invoice (big deal) and the third offered to work with me. With the latter, I sent them the email with the invoice + $816 offer (they wanted to see it). Although they said they couldn't duplicate it, they worked with me on savings for an in-stock car which I picked up the next day. This turned out out be a simple and rewarding experience. Who'd a "thunk it"?
