Saw 5 Prius' at Claremont Toyota 4/1 at MSRP!

Hi All,

I was at my dealer (Claremont Toyota in Claremont California (909) 625-1500) today and as usual cruised the lot to see what they had in stock and what they were charging for it.

They have: Seaside with package 6 & leather preinstalled for $28,390 - $26,695 + $1,695 for leather pack.

2 Millenium Silver 6's $26,742

1 White 6 with wheel locks $59 and bumper applique $95 (this one seems to be high $29,866

1 Black $26,742

All have cargo mat/floor mats & first aid kits $262 added to base price.

Seems like some of the Fair Market pricing might be gone. I have a sneaking suspicion that the Seaside might be the one I saw a week or so ago with a $3000 markup tacked on then.

I thought I would pass on this info to anyone who is interested as they treated me very fairly when we bought my car there in February. Just FYI, I don't have any affiliation with them beyond being a customer, I just like to help out folks who might be shopping for their dream cars as I was helped out when shopping for mine.

If you do decide to visit them be sure to ask for Dave Castillo in Internet/Fleet Sales or Abe aka Fadi and tell them that Tisza says hi! These were the guys that took care of me and were both super. No pressure a real WYSIWYG deal.

They even held the car we wound up buying for a week and a half without even putting it out on the lot as I thought I wanted a different color so they were trying to trade another dealership to get that color and package (Salsa #3) for me.

Incidentally, they did this without a deposit, without a promise to buy and without us getting financing from them (we already had our own through the Credit Union). I think that is pretty exceptional service in anyone's book. Oh, and Claremont Toyota gives free oil changes for as long as you own your car with any vehicle purchased and you don't have to take your car there for any other maintenance if you don't want too to take advantage of that offer. Cool, huh?

Take care

Tisza
