    I waited too long, but think I did okay. I pick up my new 2011 White Prius II on Tuesday.
    Saturday I paid $23,600 cash with the 2 year free maintainence included. List price was $24,250. I made the purchase in Worcester MA.
    I also have a 2007 Tundra, and a 2002 Tacoma, but thought a prius will cut down on me and my wifes $720 a month gas bill.
    I love the experienced people in the Toyota forums, and would like feed back of what you all think of my deal. Did I get one??? , or did I get taken for a ride ??

    Sounds like a good price to me, I paid $23k many years ago for my 2005, so maybe I got taken! Welcome to PriusChat.

    I don't understand why people fret so much. Even if you overpaid by 1k, divide that by 5 years and you get 200 bucks a year too much, divide it by 12 and its 16.6 dollars a month.

    Considering you are going to save several hundred a month in gas I think you come out ahead regardless.

    Congrats.

    Welcome aboard! I paid 22.8K(MSRP at the time) for my 2010 II in July 09. Considering the current situations, I think you did just fine.

    Yep. I don't think many are going to get "thousands off" anytime soon. If you are happy, then it was a good deal. Like it was said, you will likely be saving over 500 a month in fuel cost.

    You got a deal. In my area the dealers now advertise "call for price". Which I assume means "list price" is not an option.

    I bought my prius II at Harr about a month and a half ago. They seem to have the best prices around.

    Sounds like you did good! At this time with gas raising and vehicles in short supply, anything under MSRP is a deal!
