Let PriusChat help you find you a Prius - new Price Quote Request form

[Danny]

These days it's not very easy to find a Prius at your local dealership, let alone negotiate a fair price. PriusChat is trying to help you find your Prius (or any other car) through our new Price Quote Request Form.

All you have to do is fill out the simple information provided on the Price Quote Request page, then a dealer will contact you with pricing and information on the next steps. By submitting a request directly through PriusChat, you save yourself the hassle of having to contact dealerships near you to find out their availability and pricing - let them come to you!

I look forward to receiving your feedback on this program. Hopefully we'll have a lot of success stories come out of it!

New Car Price Quote - PriusChat

Thanks Danny for posting this. I look forward to using the new car price quote soon.

How long does it take to receive a quote or other info? I filled out the request about a week ago. Of course I don't imagine there are any Prius out there looking for homes.

I have sort'a the reverse situation ?

How do I find a buyer for my 2008 Prius
when the dealer can't assure me when
my new 2009 Prius will be here. They
say that Toyota isn't saying when the
2009 Prius cars will begin to arrive. "It's
a surprise".

What is the approximate value (range)
that I might reasonably expect to sell
my 2008 red PKG 2 Prius in October or
November that will have approximately
28,000 miles on it in Oct/Nov ? I drive
a good bit in my work, but I'm a non-
smoker, have no pets, no kids, only
rarely do I have another occupant in
the car. The back seat has never been
used - rear compartment cover is like
brand new and thick rubber mats cover
the Toyota carpet mats, back-up cam,
keyless remote entry and start.

Thanks much - Bill, the newbie !

Who gets these quotes? Do they go to dealers registered with Priuschat?

Hi all,
I finally started shopping my Prius after much research. (I know, my timing couldn't be worse!) I knew more than the dealers, no one was much interested in doing anything other than ordering an '09 for me and, basically, "you take whatever the factory has packaged". One dealer told me that if any customer backed out of their '08 order, they would automatically upgrade it with a better option pkg. - no matter what it came with - and it would be resold at a much higher price & that way only!

Anyway, besides putting a huge deposit down for a "loaner" vehicle when it comes out of service at the dealership after 8 mo., isn't there any hope for us out here? One guy had EXACTLY what I wanted on the lot and he said it was going into service as a loaner. Even the loaner, sold as certified pre-owned, will be at sticker supposedly. Why would I want a loaner at sticker when I can order a new one?

I find these dealers so arrogant about the Prius. But I have only been at the 1st stage shopping, not exactly going in with cash in hand yet. So my question is, how will the quote form assist me? How will it be different than the dealership? And does Toyota know how miffed us Prius wannabes are getting?

Wouldn't you think they'd have had more in production by 2008? They created a great green alternative, now let us have it!!

Sorry about the rant, but it's hard to be all psyched up about a new car and then discover there are none. Well, like the song says "Every silver lining has a Touch of Gray"!

Why don't you post in the local Louisiana forum? (Check on the main board). I'd take advantage of it but it's too far away. Check out other areas of chat also to post. Good Luck

Availability changes fast. I got my 09 Prius in Nov, 2008 from a dealer with 80 Prius models available. I got $2400 off list with package 2. More expensive packages were offering $3,000 off. It is tough times for car sales, but great for buyers!

When your in the Price Quotes page the model year only goes up to 2009 and does not include 2010. Kinda tough to fill out without the correct year.
