    I also had issues with entune registration, attempt setup via Toyota's entune website. The mobile app would not accept my contract #

    Today, I saw a Hypersonic Red/Moonstone Prius Prime Plus in Ocala, FL at Deluca Toyota. It is the only one this dealership has received. The listing had a jacked up price, $6,000 over MSRP. They said it was due to market demand.

    I plan to check back in a week to see if they still have it in inventory.

    Well, that demand probably won't come from many here. Would any of you pay that much of a mark up?

    Funny you should mention that. I just emailed my local dealer and very told her I'm going to the Washington DC area to pick up my new prime on the 26th of December, she came back and said she very could beat their price mind you the car I'm getting in DC is a premium the one she has coming in in a couple of days is an advanced

    there are 2 prime's in runnemede toyota south NJ (Philadelphia area). I got to test drive one with sales guy Bob Noce. Awesome sales person, no pressure at all. he'll be willing to work with you if you are looking for one. The one I drove was in blue. fantastic car but just wasn't for me due to the need to fit a rear facing baby seat in the back.. that and storage space.

    Wilde Toyota in Milwaukee, WI can order Primes for delivery in 6-8 weeks. We placed an order. There is a deposit required and a forfiture for canceling.

    welcome! the forfeiture is a bit unusual, but i guess they're not interested in having one on the lot.

    How do you agree to a firm price now and prevent them from adding on port options, additional fees, or simply jacking up the price ?

    Forfeiture? Are they asking for your 1st born? I would just like to get an update from my salesman.

    I am afraid I am going to be the only one on the Prime site without a Prime.

    We have a firm grip on our two daughters. My wife says they can have the first male (not happening at our age).

    We signed a contract for a specific build for a specific delivered price, all fees, taxes and such are specified. It seems they want to keep their Midwest sales leader reputation so I am confident they will come through as agreed.

    Good luck!
    My experience of dealerships is poor, but I hope it works out for you as planned.

    How was the $500 Toyota rebate handled ? For now it should elapse before your car arrives.

    Thank you, based on discussions I read on PriusChat I asked about the $500 Toyota rebate and I was told one was not available. It may be they were not willing to pass it on given what seems to be the current shortage of dealers able to obtain Primes in the Midwest.

    I'm not sure if the rebate is based on car delivery or contract signing, but they are not being honest with you since at worse the message should have been "the rebate may not be available."

    I just looked, by the way. The rebate is extended to 1/3/2017

    Only 4 Primes even listed within a 200 mile radius for me and all only have MSRP listed and no photos. (Just say coming soon)
