Intro: Hello from Dallas, Texas

Welcome, Brent!

I'd wait for an '08, and start asking dealers when they will start accepting "orders" on them if they haven't already.

And I'll second New Mexico and add Kansas. I bought my last Prius in a hurry, shopping as far away as western Kansas, since that region carries the package I wanted. The critters I talked to in KS were straight shooters.

Good luck.

I would stay away from Sport City(bad experience with them not wanting to honor the written deal I/they had signed in regards to price agreement). :angry: Toyota of Richardson is good, didn't have the options I wanted on the lot, so Toyota of Texas in Grapevine is where I landed. I paid below invoice by 1200.00 but that was in March. Go on Wednesday, that is a slow day on the lot...helps if it is raining too. They say they don't get paid by what they sell the car for, just how many they sell.... B)

 

I live in Arlington and work in Plano, so I looked all over the metroplex when I bought mine in Jan. At the time they had just started selling Prii for under MSRP in the area.

Toyota of Plano lost my business when they tried to tell me they were still going for $3000 over MSRP.
Don Davis in Arlington lost my business when their salesman started telling me things I knew from my research to be false.
I ended up going with Vandergriff in Arlington. Just turns out that doing the configuration on toyota's website they had the model, package, and color I wanted on the lot. I had just totaled a Tacoma so I had the insurance check in hand and was able to put $5k down, and finance was handled through my credit union. They tried to beat the credit union on financing, best they could do was match it. However, my credit union automatically puts an extended warranty on every car they finance, so they won the financing.

Another good dealer in the area is the one in Duncanville, I believe it's Red Bird Toyota. My sister recently moved back to TX from CA, so she started looking at a van before she moved back. She had the dealership in Weatherford and Red Bird trying to sell her the same Seinna, all over the phone. Red Bird wanted $500 more for the Van, but the Weatherford dealership wouldn't budge on the MSRP on the extended warranty, Red Bird would.

Hope it helps.
