    Price sounds good. Ask for oil changes if not included with tire rotation

    What you should ask is.......to see it in writing with ALL of the charges included, except maybe the $$ that goes to the State for tax and tags.

    Some dealers like to quote prices without including things like shipping, "destination charges", "doc fees" and dealer prep. Those things can sometimes add a couple of grand to the bottom line.

    THEN.....don't give them the impression that you are desperate to buy NOW for any reason because if they think
    they have you hooked, they will try to screw you some other way........like low-balling you on a trade.
    Just when I thought I'd seen it all, a dealer in Atlanta pulled that one on me.

    $22,437 was my mistake, I thought I could combine 60/mo zero finance + $1500 rebate offer from toyota, so I had to remove $1500 rebate and keep 60/mo zero finance instead.

    $22,437 would be ready if I purchased the car with cash or 60/mo with $2.99 interest.

    It sounds like you already purchased it, so forget about whether or not you could have gotten the absolute best deal and now comes the time you enjoy your new vehicle and the savings at the pump!

    I paid almost exactly that, less than a year ago, for my Prius 2.
    So you are getting a Prius 3...I'd say good deal.

    Oops...just saw you upgraded a bit.

    With Solar Roof and Nav...that still seems like a great price.

    I kind of regret that I did not get a Solar Roof.

    Enjoy...sounds like a good deal.

    Thank you folks,

    I am still trying to get used to it, my old SUV gets 10 MPG and this will be a big jump :)
    I have 40 miles on prius yet and I averaged 25 mpg yet, I am a calm driver but I guess it will get better as I drive more

    Here is a pic of the car :)
