Toyota Prius - Super White - Package 6 + Mats/Locks/Bumper

Hello everyone, this is my first post here, and I am brand spankin' new user. Here is my deal:

Date Ordered: 5/6/05
Dealer Ordered From (Incl. City/State): Cabe Toyota / Scion (Long Beach, CA)
Timeframe given for delivery: 1 day
Color: Super White
Option Package: 6
Your # on Dealer's Waiting List: 0

I paid $650 under MSRP on the car + package 6, then I paid invoice for the floor mats, wheel locks, and rear bumper applique.

I paid $185 over dealer cost on the 7yr / 100k mi extended platinum warranty, and 4yr / 55mi pre-paid maint. ($1640 paid v. $1455 invoice)

The car is available for me today, but I need to go pick it up with my wife (who was finishing an exam at the time I was shopping). I have done extensive research on the cars available in LA/OC county, and would be happy to give advice to anyone who is looking to get a car at/below MSRP. I spent A LOT of time doing research and trying out the different dealers, so I would be happy to share my knowledge with you! (this board helped me a bit in deciding what to get -- need to window tint for example)

If you would prefer to post your questions, I would be happy to answer as well!

I hope to contribute to this site when I have time, and look forward to meeting you all!

Re: Toyota Prius - Super White - Package 6 + Mats/Locks/Bump

Thanks! It was my understanding that the costs on this website were $100 over invoice for each. Thus the total on this website is $1655... ($15 more than what I paid)

I have found the market has been softer in LA the past 2-3 months, and finally pulled the triggor on the purchase when I realized my wife and I would need 2 cars from now on... (she has a summer internship, and an externship in the fall as well)
