Did I do good?

[wfor1pilot]

After lurking (here) for a while and borrowing a buddies Pruis a few weeks ago; I finally picked one up yesterday. It's a beautiful black/tan package #2.

I got it on a "end of the year deal". The window sticker said $24.749 for the package. I "presbyterian'd" them down to $22.400 and paid O.T.D. $24.320.

Is that a good deal?

I purchased it here in So. Cal at a high volume dealer. I had seen a few others at other dealerships and they were asking over 26k for the very same car.

If it is a good price and you're looking I found another dealer that will price match and I've still got the quote in writing...

Thanks to all for all of the info > great forum,

Davis

I just looked it up on this link: Prius II Standard and Optional Equipment (Most Countries)
I guess mine is a "HG" package not "package B" as I had earlier stated.

Can someone tell me what is "homelink"?

Basically a built in remote control for your garage door opener, electric gate, etc.

The only way to make a sensible comparison is to compare the exact same vehicle, bought at the same dealership, at the same time, from the same salesman.

Any other comparison is senseless, because there are far too many factors that affect price.

Why do people keep asking? What difference does it make? If we say you overpaid, are you going to return the car?

Here's a great stock answer. You got a good price. End of discussion.

No, wouldn't return it. Actually I'm thinking that I got a pretty good deal. A lot of the other dealers that I looked at wanted a lot more for the same car. So, I was just wondering if I actually got as good as I think I have...

Or Central Arkansas for that matter. I searched for 9 weeks for what I wanted in Arkansas. Always found one cheaper in Memphis, or Tulsa, or Texarkana, or Shreveport. Never in Arkansas untill FINALLY, at Orr in Hot Springs I got a white pkg. 4 with a sticker price of 25 and otd at 29. I am happy and the extra handling pkg is worth it on these Ark. roads.... jf

But like I said, wfor1, it's virtually impossible to compare car prices, because they're dependent on so many factors. Even the dealer's cost of the loan to keep cars on his lot.

Yeah, makes sense. Thanks for the info and you're right too many variables to really say. I now see what you mean.
