The car is awesome, but still feeling the post spending pains! In all I feel it was the best decision since I can't find any deals out there, not to mention the high demand right now. Any thoughts? Am I being too happy or did I pay too much?

Definitely think you paid too much...
I was looking to get a Prius about a month and a half ago, even put a deposit down because the dealership had already started to feel the shortage. They searched for several weeks and couldn't find what I wanted - a black package #6 Prius and I ended up getting my deposit back. At the time the price was right around 28,000. I called the same dealership last week and they informed me that I not only need to get on the waiting list ASAP but also need to come up with about 5K above and beyond the initial price I was offered just because of the demand. I ended up calling another dealership in Northern San Diego county, got on their waiting list immediately and should get a black package #6 Prius for about 28,400 in 6-8 weeks.
I bet you are excited to already have yours, though, so congrats!

I paid 24.9k out the door for a black package 2. Florence Toyota does not charge over sticker and only gets 1-2 prius' a month.

I think I got a pretty good deal

2008 Prius with package #6 $25754
sales tax 2156
Doc fees 149
registration 150

Out the door price 28209

I had emailed 30 local dealers and found one in
Ramsey, NJ able to beat all the others.

Good spreadsheet however your base price is wrong for Toyota built .... probably already includes package cost

I know where there is a 2008 red package #6 Prius come available that is due in at the end of June. in Denver... selling by my Prius salesman turned broker..

The price will be MSRP + tax, which should be $28,404 + tax. Dealers are adding on $499 dealer handling + $1295 environmental packages. There will be no hidden fees!

I spoke to him a couple of hours ago.. he still has it.. interested contact me

I put down a deposit in late May; picked up this weekend (July 5) a Package 6 with mats & cargo net at MSRP ($28,333+t&t). The salesman said now they're getting $1-2k over MSRP. They also don't seem interested in taking deposits - they sell them as they get allocations.

I negociated $24,400.00 for my #2 out the door in Wisconsin.
Got a call from the salesrep today saying she thinks it will
be here in August, instead of the September date she originally
gave me. She said my order had been filled.
Could it be because I emailed her saying I would
consider other colors and possibly an upgrade to a #3???
Or are they filling orders?

I currently have an '05 package 2 - and love it! At 74K I'm averaging 51 mpg in the summer and 49 in the winter. If I drive nicely those figures increase, of course!

Anyway, I wanted a 2nd Prius for my wife. SHe wanted a BMW sports car, but, alas, we couldn't imagine buying a car with a low MPG.

I contacted the Fredericksburg, VA Toyota dealer (where I bought the first Prius) and they wanted 8K over MSRP. I said no. Then they called and reduced it to 5K. Still no. Then $2,500. Still no! At that point I bought a Honda Civic Coupe EX (the wife wanted something a wee-bit sporty!) for $19,500 (out the door! I know someone at the Marlow Hts, MD Honda dealer. She delivered it to me and I gave her a check. That's a nice way to buy!). Two days later the Toyota dealer called and said they'd sell it for MSRP! Argh!!!

I know that Capitalism is what makes the world-go-round, but to ask more money for vehicles that are necessary to curb our oil consumption appears to me as an un-patriotic stance!
