I got my package 6 touring back in April for $28,??? (excluding tax, etc). My salesman now says they're charging about $31k for a package 6 touring. He also said the pre-owned Priuses ..er... Prii are selling very well and that someone paid $16k above the sticker price for one.

Just picked up my Spectra Blue, package 6 today. Paid $30,823 (not including sales tax). Hard to get around paying dealer options. At least I got chrome wheels and window tint.

Put my name on the list for a package 6 in any color on 6/16/08. By 6/21/08, I bought this car off the dealership allocation list. Car delivered July 9, 2008.

My package 6 just arrived today. Paid MSRP - $28,284.00 and not a penny more (not including tax and title). I had called over 45 dealerships until I found one that was not charging over MSRP and/or forcing add-ons. I found several actually, but only about 4 were the real deal. For the most part the rest were not telling the truth. I will post more on that tomorrow. I plan on namin' names. If you live in So. Cal - it's a must read.

MOSSY TOYOTA in San Diego came through for me.

I have a brand new Super White package 6 in my garage right now, just got home about an hour ago - the dealership stayed open late for US! More details tomorrow!

Yes, the markup may be legal, may be due to supply and demand, etc. Doesn't mean I intended to pay it.

Woohoo!

Picking up my Super White package 2 today. I'm paying $24,458 which includes the $660 destination charge and two add-ons I didn't ask for but am not upset about. I'm getting the preferred accessory package ($279) and something called a rear bumper applique ($69).

I just had a "salesperson" call to inform me they got a "gift" from Toyota and were offering it at a firm price 5k over MSRP, and the also told me they had reopened their waiting list and it is only 10 months now! Good luck! Almost makes me want to go back to my Suburban.

Stopped by the local dealer and they have a spectra blue pkg 2 with 88 miles , apparently purchased from a leasing company. They are asking 30K for it, salesman said well ya can pay me 30K now or wait 8 months

Ordered mine on June 10 (pkg #6) and rec'd a call last week to advise that a spectra blue has been allocated to me.

We paid 28K and were told that the price is the price...same deal on our trade, no room for negotiation.

Completed my purchase last night. I paid MSRP for the car.
I traded in my 2000 RAV4 with 90K miles, a cracked windshield, and severely dented bumper, and other scrapes and scratches typical of an 8 yr old car. The dealer gave me KBB Fair condition trade in value. I know I could have done better with a private sale, but didn't want the hassle.

Overall I'm thrilled with the car and happy enough with the price (although it's the first time I ever paid MSRP for a car).

As I was leaving the sales manager joked that they would have security escort me to the door since so many people want this car. Their current wait list is over 100 and they are telling new customers asking for Prii that they may have a car by Christmas but likely no earlier. Last month they only received 1/2 their usual allotment.
