What is the best price for a 2008 Prius, package 2 in NYC? What is the best dealer? Thanks.

FYI, I bought a 2007 Prius, Package #2 on February 13, 2007 for exactly the MSRP.

I think you should be able to buy a 2008 Prius, Package #2 for much less --- $1000 to $2000 below the MSRP.

I do not recommend Toyota of Manhattan, or Plaza Toyota in Brooklyn.

I hear good things about Bay Ridge Toyota in Brooklyn.

Good luck.

Why not to cross the river? NJ dealers are (muuuuucho) more flexible

I bought mine: 08, pkg# 6 for $26K ?! I was done/gone in an hour.
Good luck!

P.S. Welcome to myself

Read through www.carbuyingtips.com and if you want a copy of an ad that listed every dealer in the area send me a PM as I can't upload the image. NJ is a CARB state so the hybrid warranty is 150,000 miles. Best wishes for finding exactly what you want at a good price.

Well, I did ask my delaer regarding 10years/150K miles... was told 8years/100K miles?! what's up with that? I have read every waranty booklet... did find CA, didn't find NJ?!
Edit: Never mind, www.google.com is your friend

CARB states: hybrid system is good for 96months/100K miles; hybrid battery is good for 120 months/150k miles!!!

ra3boy, mind telling us which NJ dealer you got your Prius 6 for $26k?

If you are buying from BayRidge Toyota in Brooklyn, they are ok with the price. But DON'T get the extended warranty or anything from them other than the car itself. If you are getting the extended warranty, get it thru PC at Discounted Toyota Prius Extended Warranty /Service Contracts. BayRidge quoted me $1997, you can get the same warranty from PC for $990.

A note from Troy, PC's warranty rep,

Quote:

"...If anyone feels that they simply must give their dealer the chance to price match, at the very least, give us the courtesy of keeping us anonymous so you don't ruin it for everyone. Just tell them you have gotten a better price at another dealer, and leave it at that. Don't give them a copy of this thread or one of my emails with all the info they need to go crying to their factory reps about how much money they lost because of us."

Ditto. In fact I think that's a pretty good rule of thumb for any dealer --- never buy an extended warranty or any other "product" the closer (usually a finance guy, whether you finance the car or not) tries to sell you. They are almost always overpriced, useless or both.

Toyota of Manhattan tried to sell me the 7yrs/100,000 miles extended warranty for $2,500.

Plaza Toyota sold my ex more than $2,000 of other financial products that in my opinion were totally worthless. So when I went with her to pick up the car, we immediately cancelled those purchases.

Glen Toyota,RT-208 South, Fair Lawn, NJ. It's about 10 miles from the GW bridge. Not a volume dealer, but after I did mention I was heading to Prestige Toyota in Ramsey, NJ

...they agreed on the price.

Thanks for the Dealership info.
Prestige Toyota seems to have bigger inventory, not sure how well they'll budge on the Prius price.

Anyone has good dealership experience buying Prius in the NJ region?
