Dealers in Portland, OR?

Check Costco? When I was looking for my prius they had one dealer they worked with who actually had a prius in stock, you may get lucky? I went with royal Moore, only because they had a type 2 in stock, I’m not sure if i would recommend them.
Honestly i prefer working with Costco or internet sales. Also check some of the small towns near Portland they may have some in stock and you may be able to get a better deal. Auto trader may list those towns as will Edmonds.com
I paid invoice at royal moore.

 

I bught my Prius "at home" in Salem after first going to Wilsonville Toyota who has "only" prices. They were about $400 under MSRP at the time. Capitol Toyota in Salem met their price and gave me $100 more for my Subaru--which obtained some front fender damage after the Wilsonville quote. I liked Wilsonville's advertised "no bull" sales technique. Start by getting internet quotes.

Hi Rickster,
I went to Vancouver Toyota to look at a Prius. They had just what we wanted in stock acording to the computer. When we got there they could not find the car. So we took a drive in another Prius. We desided we liked the car but wanted the color and options that we wanted. We did find the car we had seen on the internet but they said it was sold. They found something close at another dealer and cold get it for us. The deal was not good enough and the car was close but not fully what we wanted. Also I knew I had to walk out the door before they would give the best offer.

So we walked.

I then went on the internet and found 4 of what I wanted in the Seattle area. I did internet shopping for a day and got good offers from Titus-Wills in Tacoma and from Renton. I finally also got a good offer from Vancouver Toyota, but still not on the color we wanted.

So I set an apointment in Tacoma and drove up. They sold the car I wanted while I was in the showroom but got me the same care from Kirkwood. I dickered a while on my trade value and finally got a good deal. It was a long day but they did a good job and took care of me.

I worked with Jim and Kay Love. I would recoment them if you want to drive that far.

Thanks,
Dan Lander

 

I bought from Jerry Rousselle in the fleet/internet dept. of Broadway Toyota. I got his name from "winebuff", another forum member.

I had an excellent experience. I ordered in advance because I was buying from out of state and needed to time my purchase so that my wife and I could drive my old car out to give to my daughter, go to her baby shower, and then drive my new Prius back to Colorado.

He put in a preference for and got exactly what I wanted. He communuicated well every step of the way. They made all of the dealer programmable changes I requested in advance and made the transaction and pick up quick and easy.

All dealers were selling the Prius at msrp (or more) at that time. There were absolutely no extra or b.s. charges.

Because my daughter lives in Vancouver, I tried to contact Vancouver Toyota by requesting a quote through their internet site. I didn't get a reply. They also didn't seem to update the inventory on their site regularly. Jerry was responsive from day one. I am happy to recommend him to you.

 

Congratulations on your new Yaris and thanks for the dealer recommendation.
