Any advice for getting best deal?

Unfortunately whatever gains had been made due to lower gas prices, if the current trend continues, will be lost. Crude is up $40 in the last 3 days. This means gas prices rising again and higher demand for fuel efficient vehicles.

Have your tried Costco or Sams clubs buying programs?
I have used Costco twice - the first time on a Prius in 2006 (no discount) and the second time for a 2009 package 6 Prius ($250 discount) as a repeat customer.

Read www.carbuyingtips.com. Historically, Prius demand matches oil prices. Prius are more abundant in the winter months. My 2c: In the near future I would expect "many" people priced out of the market due to tighter credit and declining earnings. If the sales tax is 7% of $25000 the car needs to be $1750 cheaper now compared to next year to break even on the purchase price. That may be hard to get.
