California. Should I buy a '19 Prime now with $2500 incentives or wait until the end of the year?

What was the sticker price?

 

So as an update I took the advice to talk to a bunch of dealerships and surprisingly they came in pretty low. After getting lots of offers and sending them to each other and talking to lots of people, I ended up getting exactly what I wanted for paint and interior for about $16,500 after all the rebates and incentives etc plus tax and title. Which I'm extremely happy with. Also, never drove a Prius before at all, and this car is amazing and looks incredible imo. And I'm not risking Toyota dropping the 2500 incentive or them running out of stock. And in fact, the only reason I wanted to wait until the end of the year was to try to get a deal as good as this. Pretty surprised actually how low all the dealers were willing to go, although it was a lot of work to get there. I'm crazy happy with the purchase and thank you all so much for the advice.

 

I actually saw somewhere someone claiming they can update the plus one to android auto. There's a video on youtube I watched. It's supposedly for the Tacoma or Corolla or something but it's supposed to work on the Prime. No idea about Apple Carplay, I searched for that. I think it was $700. Let me know if you want me to find you the link. I don't know the rules of posting links on this forum though.

 

Thanks! Sorry for the late reply. So the Toyota Incentive of 2500 + 4500 federal rebate + 1500 CA + 800 PG&E. Got them down to about 23,300. Sticker price was like 28,300 or 28,500 something like that. Which looked accurate for the msrp and destination fee actually. I was surprised it wasn't more inflated. Got them down to about 23,300 including the Toyota incentive. So about an additional 2500 off from the dealer from the sticker/msrp price. 23,300 - 6800 (federal, CA and pge that I will receive) = 16,500 true cost to me before tax and title. 26,000 out the door before what I'll receive back (6800) so 19,200 true out the door cost.

I just had the dealers bidding against each other through email basically and towards the end it was like pulling teeth per $100. Got to a price I was super happy with and went with it, a Plus with the exterior and interior colors I wanted. I think you're right about them not going below a certain point, I really think it would be quite difficult to get under 16k (true cost before tax and title) regardless of what incentives are available. So the price was amazing and I don't think I would be getting a better price if I waited until the end of the year. Although I could be wrong we'll see but either way imo its a great price for this amazing car. Also, I have the car now to drive instead of waiting for 6 months to hope they still have some in stock and hope they give a good incentive. And like I said, the only reason I was thinking of waiting until December was to hopefully get a deal as good as this. Still can't believe how much cheaper it is to get this better car over a standard Prius lol. Thanks rebates!
