Going to buy 2010 fully loaded soon and I am told i must pay $3000.00 over sticker which would be about $31,400.00 and that is here in Houston. Trying to see if all dealerships are charging this premium and if that is a fair price ?

Not sure what you consider as "fully loaded", but a Prius V with ATP costs $33,200 MSRP. According to Toyota, that is the top of the line.

just purchased one from tejas toyota in humble. my parents went with a pkg ii with floor mats and vehicle shield package...damn GST. they would not budge from sticker. not even $100 off. they had the lowest priced prius in houston with out any other add ons.

you should be able to find a prius for sticker. there is a red pkg iii solar with added leather at champion toyota.

You're being had. No reason to pay anything over MSRP. Just got mine here in NJ for $800 below MSRP.

he's buying the IV, which fully loaded is at $31k+

the V is kinda the alter ego of the IV, because it doesn't have the sunroof/solar, but has the ATP.

PS. My bad...he said $3000 over, which makes the MSRP of his $28k, probably the III?

I am buying a V with ATP for a little over $30k

There's no way someone should be paying over sticker now, IMO. In fact, there are deals like mine to be had for under MRSP.

The GST dealers in Little Rock are saying to me they will sell only at MSRP. This is inconsistent with regional sales information on truecar.com and "target price" information on cars.com (but I can't tell if CARS is regional, national or mixed information). (I exclude Landers--I won't deal with them because they WAY overcharged me for service on my 99 Corolla a few years ago.)
The dealers deny knowledge of the MSRP increase scheduled for this coming week--anyone have an idea why? It's already taken into account on cars.com, even though it hasn't taken effect (I can't tell if cars.com has taken invoice increases into account).
Any ideas on strategy/tactics for a buyer like me looking for a package II with few options?

I just got my package II for under MSRP in CA.
