Exclamation 2010 prius to sell for up to $4k over MSRP, do i buy a 2009 or wait to see if 2010's sell at msrp

SORRY, I MEANT 4K ONER MSRP


I've been looking to buy a prius and trade in my 13mpg 08 Tundra and i spoke to a few dealers that said the 2010 will for sure be sold way over msrp. they said best deal is to lease a 2009 and in 3yrs the the hype will be over and can get a better deal.

My dilema is I really like the look of the 2010, but I don't want to pay $4k over MSRP, if that's true, then I'd rather get a 2009.
But if they sell the 2010 at MSRP or a little over I'd gladly wait.

Does anyone know if there's any truth to the 2010 selling way over MSRP, I'm ready to buy now, but will be bummed out if a few months later I could have gotten the 2010 for a few thousand more than the 2009.

Sorry but in this economy, with Gas prices really low.... I just don't see them selling shit for over MSRP.

If you want to take a trip to Northern Virginia, my dealership is taking orders for 2010 Prius and giving customers that place orders now a $500.00 discount off the MSRP.

It feels way too early to know how over MSRP dealers will go.

Seems, though, that your best bet may be to wait-list one now and then, when pricing is revealed, make your decision to go ahead or not. You'll then be empowered to say "yes" or "no" when you have the information in-hand and can, presumably, comparison shop.

Each dealer will make its own decision as to selling price. Have you tried one of the large Toyota dealers, such as Longo in El Monte? Usually their business practice is to sell the newest models at MSRP, not above. (Of course, the flip side is that you will get relatively little for your trade-in, so you may want to try selling it yourself if you can.)

It's really wierd that one dealers offering $500 off MSRP and another says they will sell it around $4k over MSRP.

Also, does anyone know roughly within a few thousand what the MSRP will be for the fully loaded model. It's around $28k for the 2009, if a 2010 is close, I'd really rather wait for the 2010

My guess is that the fully-loaded Platinum model will be priced at $33K +/- $2K.

Don't believe anything you ever hear from a dealer, unless you get it in writing on a contract. Even then I would only "sort of" believe anything they tell me. Even if you are lucky enough to get a dealer that doesn't lie outright, they are still likely to be confused or mis-informed.

$4K over list! That's crazy. Last I checked Toyota lost money last year and that was with just 1 solid quarter in the recession. It'll be even worse 3 quarters into it. By the second month the 2010 comes out, they'll be begging us to buy them.

I hope so, I'm killing myself with 13mpg in my Tundra and 30k miles in the first year.
I'm on the fence to buy now at a little under invoice or wait and hopefully they'll sell the 2010 at MSRP. and hopefully it's priced similar to the 2009
