    Socal market is the worst with crazy mark ups on Prius. Makes me want to throw up. I barely got mine 2 weeks ago at only $500 under MSRP and another $500 rebate.

    I couldve flied over to NorthCal or another state to save 1500 or so, but I had no time and needed a car asap. PLus if it is out of state, paper work and registration is a hassle no?

    After seeing this thread, I decided to check the site of the dealer I got my Prius at (Toyota Sunnyvale). They have 20 Prius in stock, which is a fraction of what they usually have.

    I bought mine yesterday and it is in transit. Will be delivered in 2 weeks or so. It is a 3 with nav. There were only 2 Prius 2's left on the lot

    I just picked up my new Prius on Friday. When I first talked to the dealership on Wed., I believe there were 12 on the lot in total. There are only 3 this morning.

    I lucked out and got a 2010 with only 1600 miles on it the day they listed it.

    In the automotive section of today's Portland, Maine newspaper, two dealers are advertising 2007 Prii at $20,900 and $21,800, respectively; no mileage figures are given.

    Seeing that I bought my Prius II a month ago for $22,400 and a 4-year-old car is going for $600 less, my wife thinks I'm a genius!:D

    My dealer in Urbana IL has no new ones left. He had 4 when I bought mine 4 weeks ago and 24 just before the Earthquake. He always has had the most in downstate Illinois.

    He has only 3 used (a 2001, a 2009, and my old 2005 trade) on the lot. This is a HUGE dealership with several car makes and usually has 2500 new and used cars on the lot.

    Wow, that is more than $7,000 (50%) increase from the 2007 I bought a month and a half ago.

    I live just outside New Orleans. Just checks cars.com, and there are 6 within 30 miles of me. 298 within 500 miles. That area includes Dallas, Houston, and probably Memphis and Atlanta. There are under 5000 nationwide.

    Just before I bought mine about a month ago, there were 8500 nationwide listed on cars.com.

    Note: I was only checking for new cars. But when I was looking for mine, it was harder to find used ones than new ones in my area.

    You have to remember, the advertised price may not be what you actually pay, but still, it's a good indicator.
