Not going to happen anytime soon for the 2010 Prius if that's what you are asking.

Depends on where you live I suppose. I would guess the prices really drop in late Jan / early Feb -- traditionally a very weak time for retail

If you really want one now and are willing to travel for it, send me a PM for a good dealer (I have no skin in the deal, send me a keychain if you luck out )

I'd be incredibly surprised if you weren't able to manage below MSRP a month from now in California. I was able get below MSRP during C4C.

I'd just call/email all the fleet managers letting them know that you are ready to purchase a prius for below MSRP, are in no hurry and would like to be notified when that will be possible, and then follow up bi-weekly.

There are already dealers offering the 2010 prius for less than MSRP in California (Bay Area). Granted, not much lower, but lower still.

2010 PRIUS II, III, IV, and V below MSRP

That CL ad has inflated MSRPs.

Like Werewolf stated Jan/Feb so just be patient. I'm selling my car(Honda Element) privately so I'm willing to wait awhile and see where prices go.

While I am no stranger to discounting the Prius, as I had done this on occasion the past few months when inventory permitted... I don't see that happening for a while. Not in my region, as allocations are only 1/4th of what they need to be.

Dont know if 21 days after your post qualifies as soon but I got my Pkg II for $625 off the MSRP of $22,950. Its definitely happenning. You just need to walk if the dealer is adamant on MSRP.

Crazyhorse, you got a fantastic deal. I'm guessing that it was one they had laying around and our next allocation was about to be pulled. Most dealers in Chicago have a fairly long waiting list. Sounds like a real application of the "right time, right place" theory. That is the only reason a dealer, especially in Chicagoland, are discounting them. Good purchase, sir, good purchase.
