    Well, I thought I would try a non-conventional means of marketing myself and my dealer! I work for Toyota of Dallas where we won't pre-sell our Prius'. If you have any questions about the Prius from a salesman's perspective, any tech questions, or what we have coming in, definitely feel free to shoot me an e-mail! I absolutely love the Prius and I am willing to help anyone in any way possible! :)

    No offense, but hang around here and you'll learn some tech stuff about the Prius. :D

    Haha, very funny. :D

    No, we don't have any in stock, but we do not take deposits for future sales. Therefore, any Prius that comes off the truck is on the market (and usually sold the same day). We usually get between one and three per week. Our next Prius arrives on Thursday or Friday, allegedly it is a silver package 6. I think to keep myself out of trouble, I will respond to more detailed questions via PM.

    OK . . . since I am not in the market . . . I can ask the tough questions. :eek:

    So JSmithTOD,
    Since your dealer "won't pre-sell" the Prii, am I correct in interpreting that as 'not taking a deposit' . . . and if so, does your dealer sell the highly sought after Prii at MSRP or below?

    If not MSRP or below, does your offer of, "I am willing to help anyone in any way possible!" not pertain to helping PriusChatters prurchase one at MSRP?

    [as I said, I'm not in the market. ;) ]

    Oh, and welcome to PriusChat!

    Give the boy a chance.
    Unlike some of us, he probably has a life which doesn't revolve around PriusChat.

    Silence is his answer, seems he was stirring the pot to get more people to pay 5000$ over retail... won't take deposits, auction when the car is on the lot, hmmmm

    We shamed him??? Au contraire!

    I think the MOD's could delete this thread and save the bandwidth.

    ZC1 - hehehehehehehe - WORD UP MAN!

    TO ALL - after many moons of being to this site and learning a VAST abundance of knowledge and technical information/theories here, i am still humbled by some of the new things i learn just about everyday on PC. be VERY careful when someone claims to "know it all" by saying go ahead and ask any questions you have.................ohhhhh man. spend ONE day reading through the threads posted here and you probably know MORE than most of the sales-people at toyota about the prius......................spend MORE than one day and you probably know more than the service managers............................and it just keeps going exponentially............that's why PC is awesome.
