I paid about $29100 back in September for a 2007 Touring Pkg. 6, leather interior. Supposedly about $500 off MSRP. I didn't have to negotiate. I used their Internet dealer.

I still don't have it... They gave it away to another dealer while my sales guy and the allocation manager were on Vacation!!!! Interesting that you got one below MSRP in the bay area as when they were trying to find me a replacement, they were told by the dealer in the south bay that the area was still backordered and they would not give up ANY for ANY reason. grrr...

Sucky thing is, I can't do anything about the issue because if I take my deposit and go somewhere else, I'm right back at the bottom of the list.

I'm supposedly on the top of the NW Regional list to get one off the next boat if one is on there.

Enjoy your Prius! I hopefully will have mine in a week or two.... assuming one is on the boat. At this point, I just want it before the end of the year so I can get the tax credit now rather than at the end of 08.

Eh, I have it now. Great car. They had to pull some strings to get it special shipped from japan.

Oh well, I love it. Final cost was something like $28600 or so.

I purchased a new 2007 Package 6 yesterday in Valencia, CA. I did the internet thing through edmunds.com and this was the only dealer that was straight up right away. So I made the trip there and bought mine for MSRP. They had a few Prius' on the lot (it's a big dealer). They made money off of my trade in for sure (sigh). A friend told me to talk to the fleet manager diredctly, but that's not how it worked with this dealer as they have a dedicated internet department. I am happy with the purchase.

I pain 22,600 for my Prius, base model with #2 package. That's about $1500 under MSRP. Bought it in Madera, CA. Email me if you want the same deal. Saleslady said she would be happy to do it again.

I'm in Portland, OR.

I just paid $26,007 + $250 broker fee for a 2007 Package #5 on Dec 19. I contacted a number of local dealers and brokers, and this was the best price offered. (Broker was Bob Lee, who I found referred here. 360 944-0215)

I offer this mostly as a data point, and not as a boast -- we should be paying a few hundred over invoice, not bragging about saving a few hundred under MSRP. I predict in 6 months the price I paid will seem grossly inflated.

I had not a whiff of a supply problem from any dealer I talked to. Everyone had cars in stock. I picked up my car 32 hours after my first email to Bob.

are these prices including or excluding tax? it's hard to determine a good deal when people don't specify.

I'm sorry - I forget that most won't know that Oregon does not have any sales tax.

The only cost I'm not including is licensing. So, the total was:

$26,007 = Prius + package #5 + mats. No tax.
$168 = Licensing
$250 = broker fee
======
$26,425

If I'm being really complete I could mention the $1,500 or so I'll be getting off my 2007 taxes, but I'm trying to help other shoppers, and including that in the final price is misleading and unhelpful.

Just purchased a 2005 Toyota Prius with 24,500 miles. Package #6 (NAV, JBL sound, etc.) everything but leather. Found a private party in the local newspaper with a price of $19,900 and I was able to get the price down to $19,600.

Also included was floor mats and a set of 4 Michelin Alpine winter tires (unmounted).

I didn't think that was too bad of a price!

That's a really good price. Where do you live? In some areas they're in more demand than in others, thus the price is affected.

I'm going to sell my 2004 in February or March. It has everything but Nav and JBL sound. I'm told that my trade-in would be at 'wholesale' value. I went to Carmax and was told that they would buy my car for $17,000 and then send it out for auction (basically wholesale). So, I've been looking at selling it as a private party. It has nearly new Hydroedge tires and a 100,000 Toyota platinum 'Platinum' full warranty.

It's discouraging to me that you got your fully loaded 2005 for only $19,600. Heck, maybe I should just go with Carmax and pass up the hassle of private party selling. Any words of advice would be appreciated.

heck, after three years, its about time the price became negotiable. however, i would not have waited to get a deal. i bought my 2006 at MSRP on Sept 12 and am happy i did it. waiting another 2-3 months was not worth it.

I had to shop for a dealer who would sell for M.S.R.P. I finally found one, had to wait 6 months, (this was back in 2005) Mine was $21,800, base model with the only option of side curtain air bags. One dealer was charging an extra $6,000 for mud flaps, pin stripes, and back-up sensors!!!!! CRAZY!!!!

Good luck.

I paid $200 over factory invoice for my Prius package #2 last week. I got an internet price quote on www.fitzmall.com and used that as the price point for negotiating with local dealers. My dealer matched it pretty quickly without counteroffer. With more Prius on the lots, the reduced tax deduction and more demand for Camry hybrid, my conclusion is that you can get a much better deal now than 3 months ago.
