What are folks paying now?

I can't believe y'all are finding cars on the lot. I started seriously looking in mid April & no one even had any on the lots to even look at then. Couldn't find one to test drive. Still that way here. Was able to put a refundable deposit down to order one.

Bought my Prius on April 29th @ Marina Toyota in Marina Del Rey CA. Touring version package #6 with Sirius Radio and Prius carpets for $30,900 out the door.

There were about 13 on the lot the day of my purchase. Two were Touring models. The other Touring model was being bought while I was buying mine.

Two days ago when I had my INViSiON SL DVD headrest system installed, (the first SL system ever installed in a Prius) two different salesmen said that they each had a waiting list of 15 Prius buyers. One even said that currently there were NO brand new Priuses on any lots in the country right now.

I talked to my salesman 2 days ago & he was telling me that they are selling 6-7 a day & that there is currently about a 5 month waiting list here in Austin. I don't know if that is true or he is just trying to get me to be more patient. I wouldn't be surprised if there was that long of a wait.

I think I called every dealership in the northwest and they all laughed when I asked if they had any available. Most had a waiting list of 10 or more (read 6-12 weeks) Some were even saying 4 months. I finally found one that is due to arrive next week at G&B Motors in Havre, MT. Paid $26,600 for #5 with a few extras including all fees. Very nice guys. Easy to work with. Not a steal but considering every other dealer wanted sticker I feel I did all right. For those of you looking it may be worth checking with the very small rural dealers. They don't get as many vehicles but not near as many people trying to buy from them either.

Bought my blue, 2008 package 6 today at MSRP. No deals and a 6-8 week wait.

These cars sure have gotten popular!

I ended up going to another dealership. They had a better deal, seemed much more knowledgable and professional, and really wanted my business. I'm paying 25,600/MSRP for a Package 3 Mag Grey Touring. My trade-in is exceptional, so it makes up for not being able to budge on the price. My order will be in within the month.

I was out looking today -- no Prius on the lots and a 6-8 week wait. They will not negotiate a penny (at least at this dealership) and you are expected to pay the full MSRP. This was in Bel Air, MD. If anyone knows of a better deal in MD - please post. Thanks.

I pick up my Package #2 tomorrow - no trade, no financing (not much chance to pad their margin). We'll see if I actually get the price I was quoted.
