Question - New Purchase

Hello everyone!

I've been a long time admirer of the Prius and am close to finally purchasing a prius after the transmission went out on my daily driver last week.

Question - For the package II, what negotiated prices have you gotten?

I would expect that some of the demand may be down with the Prius V and Lexus models being available.

Thanks for your input.

Central Texas is home.

Is MSRP the expectation on a new vehicle?

 

Thank you xpcman.

I was also expecting the Prius V release to lessen the demand as well.

 

First... thanks to all those that responded. Especially impressed by the encouraging words from the "GrumpyCabbie" in the UK!!!

For reference, I found purchasing information at Edmunds from discussion posts here:

Toyota Prius Prices Paid and Buying Experiences - Car Forums - Edmunds

The Edmunds discussion board indicates there are deals being offered on the West coast but at present time I am finding very little opportunities for deals here in Texas. Given my current situation with a broken car - time is not on my side (unlike the Rolling Stones).

I've queried dealers in Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Killeen, and San Marcos for quotes on a Prius II package. After all that, I have got a verbal commitment for $750 below MSRP and will likely close this deal over weekend. (Waiting for a Blizzard Pearl with Misty Grey interior to arrive on the lot).

I also considered and researched low, mileage pre-owned 2010-11 vehicles. But I concluded that there was not much advantage going that route.

So, after 4 years of casually following this board and other news (see my "join date")... I am looking forward to actually being an owner. Hopefully I can report back in a few days with owner status!
