What are folks paying now?

[chinoloco93]

It used to be easy to get a prius in California. Not anymore. Most people are getting their cars at MSRP. Some people already started to wait here. I paid too much for my prius. My 04 lexus was under water and been in an accident so I traded my lexus in, had to lost 4000 on that car and pay ful price on the prius. Oh well. the gas savings will make up for this.

The original sticker I have off my car with option 2 and floor mats, just delivered , is $23909.
Base $22475(not Touring), option 2 $1175., Floor mats $199, delivery $660, Extra value discount $600. That's right off the boat at Newark, NJ. Original option 2 price is $575, so I guess the $600 discount gets you the original $575 price.
A reputable dealer, such as mine, will not pad the sticker price--except for tags and doc fees of $100 or so.

I am picking up the same car on Saturday. Yippee!

I live in Alaska, and had negotiated $22,500 for an Option 2, Seaside Pearl, with dark gray interior. I waited 6 weeks for the interior color I want (and need with kids and dogs and a horse). When it arrived, they had screwed up, it had a bisque interior.

After much strife, I called the local dealer here in Alaska and explained the situation, asked if they would accept $23,500 (since I'd have to pay $1009 to barge it up from Seattle and their destination charges are only about $650). They were VERY nice (Mendenhall Auto, Juneau, Jason) and called back in 15 mintues to accept. I'll know for sure tomorrow the exact color and estimated arrival date as they have a large regional event to distribute the incoming vehicles - but the order of preference is spectra blue mica, seaside pearl, and that dark gray - all with dark gray interior and I already ordered the set of weathermaster mats - full set.

I's so excited! I'm selling the Subie - no more weekly $50+ tanks of gas!!!

Cannot find them in Virginia. I found a very clean 2007 certified Toyota used Prius, Did not save a ton, but got a good deal. Also benefit of the remainder of factory warranty, full 7 yr drivetrain warranty and upgraded for the full platinum wrap around warranty for a discounted price.

I think the waiting time for new will increase substantially and the used ones will be few and far between. I feel lucky on the find and deal that I got as they are just not around this area.

Dealers are also taking full advantage of the lack of supply and huge demand when ordering new. $500-$1500 (depending on the dealer) non-refundable deposit to get on the list. If you change your mind while you wait, you lose your money....sad.

Again, I am thrilled and lucky I picked this one up when I did

I just paid 33.4 (with tax and license) 4 days ago in Industry, CA. It was a tough swallow, but was the last one on the lot and had all the options I wanted (metallic grey, touring edition w/ pkg 6). 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?

Me? I got a STANDARD base Prius 2008 onMay 16th at Berlin City, NH with no packages/ no nuttin' / no cruise control/ just fabulous gas mileage and a great CD player/ power everything for $21,444 before tax/ reg/ etc. I feel like the runt of the litter on this site - but I'm one happy little runt....

i paid just under $29,000 with aftermarket leather for a #5

After searching at least 10 different dealers and getting a royal run around, I finally found a 2008 package #2 for 23,909. I called this afternoon and was told they had one left and raced on over there traded in my 96 Rav4 and drove home a very happy man. I now just have to get my $200 deposit I left at two of the dealers. I love this car!!!! BTW I bought the car at Hudson Toyota in Jersey City. After dealing with so many lying salesman these past couple of week, it was such a pleasure dealing with them.
