Looking to buy a new Prius in Houston

personally, I got mine thru cars.com emailing dealers in the dallas area - houston sucks for dealerships in general.

 

I got mine through Champion Toyota on the Gulf Frwy, The price of thee car was ok, 26000 for option package 4 but the platinum warranty plan was way over priced, I basically got raped for 2300 dollars. I joined Prius Chat and got a better deal with 0 deductible instead of 50 dollars and a longer monthly coverage for 990 dollars. I just for grins called Champion and told them this was the only bad experience I had in dealing with them, and was asked who in finance handled my paper work. I told them the guys name and he said he was going to chat with him. I also asked who sets the prices and was told the dealership. I at no time told them who I had purchased the new platinum warranty plan through. I don't want to bring heat down on who I got it through.
I know the dealership that I eventually got it through still made money on the warranty plan which is the name of the game, but 2300 versus 990 bucks with 0 deductible versus 50 dollar deductible and a longer coverage in months, 84 instead of 72. You can ask where you buy the car about the extended platinum warranty price but don't get gouged like I did. I canceled it and went through another dealership on the warranty. And I feel I got pretty much screwed on what they gave me on my trade in. I have not seemed to have heard a lot of good stuff about dealing with Auto Nation Dealerships.
