    I'm seeing multiple dealers in the Atlanta area add ToyoGuard Elite to the price of the vehicle ($700) Doesn't the Prius already come with 2 year maintenance? It seems redundant to add this if that is the case? The image is from a 2017 Prius Three.

    welcome!
    yes. 2 years, 25,000 miles.

    oh, i see it's southeast toyota. they're the worst, you'd be better off buying out of market. that's just a wallet cleaner.

    That is rip-off and then some, it seems to me. Whatever, I saw NOTHING like that at two Cincinnati dealers I visited. Happy enough with price I got through online "shopping" and email dealing. You don't need me to tell you Bisco is right on.

    Gen 2 (2006) and Gen 4 (2017)

    Why are toyota dealers in the southeast so bad? Any recommendations on dealers that won't rip me off?

    they have an old timey deal with toyota, that toyota is stuck with. and the control all the dealers in several states.
    hopefully, someone here can help that lives just outside their region. what model are you looking for?

    Im looking for a three. It seems to have everything I want. I'm new to the Prius, as I'm coming from a Volt.

    check the pricing thread. maybe you'll see some dealers outside of southeast, and you can pm the posters who give details on there purchase.

    I did a quick search on Cars theres a dealer in naples that has them for around 23,000. 5,000 off MSRP. Thats a big difference from here. Itd give me an excuse to visit a friend of mine too

    even if they charge the $700., it's worth it.

    Thanks for the assistance. Leave it to the southeast to screw pricing up.
