Just got price from dealer.. should I buy tomorrow ?

Hi -
Just spoke to a nearby dealer who will sell me a package # 3 '07 , for 24,995. (sticker 26,359)
He has a package # 4 he would sell for 25,795. (sticker 27,181)

The package #3 is the dark magnetic grey..(he has 2 of those)..
the package #4 is sand color (Driftwood Pearl)

Are these good prices ?
I did not tell him I had a trade in.

I also like the silver pine mica (green) but they don't have any.
None of these have leather.
Did you say you could order special seat covers for the Prius in leather ?

Do most of you have your windows tinted at the dealer, since they don't come tinted from the factory ?

I have found some Priuses on Ebay, which are discounted. I was hoping to find one for 20K, ('06) but the ones on Ebay I would have to pay shipping and you really don't know what you are getting.

Should I take the plunge ? We'll see what happens tomorrow, and how I like them, etc..

Thanks,
pola

No, he can do quite a lot better for you ...

Even Edmunds TMV is $23,940 for the Pkg #3 you listed, $24,339 for the Pkg #4 you listed. Most on here seem to get better than that even ...

If leather is holding you back, check to see if there is an aftermarket leather shop near you. These do 95% dealer work and their work looks like a factory job.

I just bought an '07 package #5 but wanted the leather. I asked the dealer to look into it. He said he could do it for $950 which makes it even cheaper than package #7 (with leather). With aftermarket leather you could also specify exact color shade or whether you want perforated leather.

After it was installed, my salesman was just raving about how good it looked--even better than Toyota's factory leather.

Isn't there a special right now going on with $2000 off MSRP? They should at least give you that.

Also go with the package 3. For one, Magnetic Grey is the best color, 2, you really don't need to pay extra for the minimal features. I have the highest package available (for 2005) and rarely use the extra options...though the navigation did help me over the weekend to get to a few concerts.

You can definately do better. I got my package #6 at $25635 + tax (I traded in so I paid around $600) + registration fee ($150). My otd price was less than $26500. This is for package #6.

I bought a Prius on Monday. Last day or near last day of the month is best time to buy. I am told that all leather is aftermarket, or what they call "Port installed." It is not done by Toyota, but a contractor. I have leather. It is very thin, but I like it.

Only the top option package is factory leather (from Toyota).

THanks ! This one dealer today said the only way to get navigation is to go with package # 6 ! for about 28K total out the door price.... can't believe it.. better find another dealer. Do you have tinted windows with the magnetic grey ? they said they tint them at the dealer... they don't come tinted in the glass, which is better.
thanks again,

You can definitely do better. Through Costco I paid $26,500 OTD for an '07 package #4. I think the sales price of the car was less than $24,300 to get to my OTD price. Keep negotiating and you can probably do better than I did! (I love the car and feel I got a great deal)

Good Luck,
