What are folks paying now?

I paid $1000 under MSRP 22 days ago in Ottawa, Canada for a "Canadian Base" aka "5 door liftback". Base Prius here is at least partly a Touring model package #2 with some #3 and #4 features.

I'm taking delivery tomorrow.

This was an APA pre-negotiated deal. I think same deal is still possible, BUT our MRSP is $29.5k + $1.4k PDI. Canadian dollar about par with US $ now.

Add $4,000 in federal and provincial taxes, then get the same $4,000 back in maximum fuel efficiency tax credits.

I paid $25,8** including any final dealership fees for a 2008 standard model package #3 that I ordered. I have an estimated ~9 week wait. Every other dealership I approached in the city of Houston had virtually the exact same price.

Certainly different pricing/wait from when my parents bought the family Prius years ago.

Off topic but I'm shocked so many Prius owners seemed to have chosen to have leather interior!

I'm in Durham NC and am soon to be on a (90 day or so) waitlist for option 2 for about the same price (25,500). Prices that I was quoted ranged from that up to $27,500 (because it was from a Southeast Toyota dealer and included Toyotaguard, $699 doc fee, and other "value added" items. McGeorge Toyota in Richmond quoted $25.5k too, but thanks to a someone I saw on Craigslist, I heard about Truliant Credit Union's auto buying program. They don't have commissioned salespeople, and they're a nonprofit, so they were able to quote the same price as McGeorge, even though they're having to get it from Southeast. Check them out if you're in the triangle or triad area of NC. Auto Center - Truliant Federal Credit Union

We picked up our 2008 Package #2 at $500 under MSRP on April 4th in Houton, TX. The dealer threw in floor mats and couple other little items.

I was in over the weekend to pick up something and the manager I did business with told me he sold 2 Priuses just like mine over the weekend that had been ordered and the parties backed out. They were both gone in 24 hours at $2500 over MSRP. He said the Corrolla's and Camry's are moving but everything else is "dead".

He has heard that Toyota is going to delay model switch over to try to get more 2008's out. Just a rumor.

In Canada our Federal $2k rebate ends with the 2008 MY. I wonder if they will push out more 2008s in Canada for this reason.

I paid sticker for my 2008 Package 6 May 3rd, 2008. Last new one left in surounding 50 mile radius!!! Lucky for us it was the color and package we wanted. Slightly over $28K if I remember correctly.

Hi All,
Newbie here.

I picked up my New pre-owned 2008 Pkg#5, matts, cargo net, nav, the rear cargo cover and first aid kit on Saturday.

My New Prius had 2677 miles on it. I paid $23995.

I am so happy with this purchase.

Would that be $2?,950? If it was $2,395, then you got a steal of a deal.

Holy cow! Now they are selling salvage prius's on Ebay that have not been repaired. 2005 with 76,000 miles for $11,500. Incredible.

I have deposits down at two dealerships. The first one I placed on May 1st, and the salesman took off the dealership markup ($2500). Still stuck paying thier other fee of $699, but basically paying close to MSRP. However, that dealership has been a nightmare to work with!! Long story...

The second dealership took my deposit last week. They are going to try to get me the configuration I want in the next allocation - but we'll see. They are bigger and more reputable, but are going to charge me their extra markup of $3000, on top of their $599 dealership fee. It's all timing.

So, we'll see who gets me one first. Fortunately both dealerships wrote boldly on the paperwork that the deposits were refundable, no matter what. They obviously know they can sell them the moment they hit the lot.
