    Hi All! I'm New Here. The MSRP's, Invoice Prices, & TMV's

    Hello Everyone,
    First, thanks for this OUTSTANDING website, its Members, and the info you all have already provided me.

    I'm new here, and I've tried the search feature, and not a whole lot comes up for what I'm looking for, and the system won't let me post my question, hence the post below.

    I'm an Outside Sales Rep., and I currently drive an Avalanche @ 15.1 MPG.
    I do ~800-1000 miles per week, and I get paid mileage at the going Federal Mileage Rate of 50¢ per mile, so a Prius appears to be a no-brainer.

    I drove a Prius few months ago, and I drove 2 more yesterday at dealerships, and I'm just about ready to buy one.


    I'm looking at a 2010 IV with Remote Start.

    I'm in Long Island, NY.
    One dealer quoted me $26,500 + $480 for the RS = $26,980
    Second dealer quoted me $27,500, then $26,900 (after he "went to check on something").

    I asked each Rep if that is the best deal you can give me, and they said yes.

    I just now found out that one of the pricing websites says dealer Invoice is $26,188.

    Any advice as to what should my next move be?


    Thank you very much for your help,
    BigBen

    Welcome BigBen. Wow, you got over 15 in the Avalanche? Yes, I think a Prius will be good for you. Those prices seem good to me, however it is the end of the Model Year and you should be able to swing a better deal. Play them off each other.

    I'm waiting for a few calls from my local dealers about pricing.
