Estimated time for 2010's on the Lot.

Most dealers get service loaners to use. i suspect that some smart dealers will use those as demo vehicles.

 

The ship my car is on holds over 6,000 cars. It's over 650 ft. long and 100 ft. wide.

 

This ship carries up to 6400 cars. Including the Prius I'm considering ordering, according to the printout I picked up today.

And this forum has named many ships carrying Toyotas to North America.

 

just talked to a salesman he said 1 to show 1 to go (at first) but if you have a deposit down or are a repeat customer you may/should get better

 

Hey, mine is also aboard the Continental Highway. :cheer2:

 

have heard from another vulture

Hi Rob, I have pricing on the new 2010 Prius models but we haven't been informed as to when we'll actually start seeing the cars. At this point I could order one for you, and the basic model that you're inquiring about is in fact model #1223, which lists for $22000 plus $805 for freight. The only factory option is white pearl paint, and that's an extra $220. Carpet mat set is $200. If you wanted a basic one with a standard color and no mats, then it is going to be $22805.00 + ttl, which totals up to $24473.28. I would need a $500 deposit to turn an order in, so you could call me with a credit card # or come by to meet with me and we could go over what you'd like on it. Feel free to call me at either # above, and let me know what day and time you'd like to get together. Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Alex Wier

sound ok or typical sales talk ?

 

sounds like he is charging MSRP. No biggie. Either you want it or not sounds like..

 

The Prius II MSRP is $22,000 plus destination/delivery. The standard Toyota destination charge is $750. If you live in SET or some other non-standard Toyota region, perhaps it costs more, but it seems that is the first $55 extra you're looking at.

The $220 extra for Blizzard Pearl is a standard MSRP (dealer cost, obviously, is less). Floor mats/Cargo mat combo is $200 MSRP (again, dealer cost is less). $1,668.28 for Title? Wow! That's a steep fee! I know my title is going to cost $80, but perhaps that's just Illinois.

 

Destination is $805 in GST region, and the $1668 is tax, title, and license, with probably about $1500 of that being the sales tax.

Sounds like a good deal since he's not making you get other options and such. Pretty much everybody in the Dallas area that I talked to is quoting MSRP.

Just make sure it a refundable deposit.

 

Thanks for the clarification! Sales tax at 6.5% would do it.

I'd say it is a pretty fair deal. Some dealers have suggested they are offering $500 below MSRP, but I don't know what the out-the-door price would be. Here you know the OTD, and it sounds like the going rate, but without add-ons.
