Anybody getting 1000 or more off MSRP?

Hi,
I agree with Dianne it's a classic case of supply and demand. Currently, for MANY reasons, there is a large demand and a very limited supply. We all know that means discounts are few and far between at this time.
All this in a world wide recession.
If you know how this all will work itself out you could make a bundle in the financial markets.
Along with many people I'm hoping to locate the desired Prius before the C4C money is exhausted.

Re. MSRP.
I've no idea how this number is created, in this case by Toyota. I'm always "happy" to negotiate a price that seems fair to me. If I'm unable to get my idea of a "fair price" I don't buy the car. It IS their car they can demand what they please. I don't take it personally it's just a business decision.

Just my opinion --

C4C has created an artificial market and a sponge against future sales. When it ends car pricing will collapse.

can't really argue with that. I personally would have bought a used priusi or even if a used one had it not been for C4C. I also delayed my purchase for almost a year waiting for all the talk to turn into an actual program.

I'm one who bought a genIII prius IV with nav for $1k below msrp on top of my $4500 clunker. This happened after I walked out of one dealership who wouldn't do anything below msrp. I even asked about the costco discount price and I was told it's not applicable to the prius. This was from the same salesperson who sold my dad a Scion xB a few months back at msrp too. I was determined to get below sticker because no way in hell I would go back to that dealership since that salesperson stated "I will be back because they all do". cocky bast*ard!

Another prime example of the rude and arrogant attitude that some Toyota dealerships have been displaying lately...

Now that the C4C is over I hope the insanity of non discounts is past us. Certainly supply is still short due to the battery bottleneck from the Japanese supplier but with the package option price increases and a new base model coming out some equilibrium will be the outcome.
