Thanks!
I am planing to buy a new prius and here is the dilemma:
option a) a new prius II at 23K with 0 options
or
option b) a 2008 prius from Carmax with navigation, leather and backup camera for
$20849
Which would you go for? Any advice or insights appreciated.
The used one can be looked at

Good luck.

Originally contacted through the Costco auto program
MSRP 26,580
Costco Price 25,251
Negotiated for it for 24,000, out-the-lot (with all fees and registration)
4.2% APR through Toyota financing (beat my rate from Chase)
Ron Tonkin Toyota offered $24,237 for the same spec
Probably will have better deal later on in March but i'm ok with almost 10% off MSRP.
How are you? Glad to see you're still giving advice because I need some. Looking for MF and residuals for a 2010 Prius V, 12K 3yr. lease. Also looking same way for the Hyundai Tucson LTD 4WD. Seems that Toyota is eager to deal as I was walking by a Toyota showroom and a salesperson literally dragged me in. I see that current lease deals for the Prius are good till 4/5. Does the Toyota MF change on the 6th of the month or earlier. I was hoping you could shed light if Toyota will discount deeper as we get into March, and into April.
MSRP: $24,566
Bought it for $22,300 total (ME sales tax was extra and the dealership does not charge any bogus *doc fees*).
Discount from MSRP: $2,266
I am happy with the deal.
Now or wait? How much lower? Summer and gas increases are a'coming.
C'mon, give the Prius V some love - chime in!

Anyhow, deal 1 is a dealer demo with less than 500 miles on it:
MSRP: $31,697
cap cost: 28,143
Residual: $19,839
total d/o: $1000
Monthly pmt inc tax: $349
36 mo lease with 12k miles
Deal 2 is brand new:
MSRP: $31,697
cap cost: 28,535
Residual: $19,839
total d/o: $1200
Monthly pmt inc tax: $355
36 mo lease with 12k miles
What deal would be better to go for? i am thinking since one is a dealer demo, they should knock another $500 off...What are your thoughts?
I just started the process this week but I've got a few initial offers. These offers are the first offers by the dealers and I haven't gotten back to them. Was looking to lease because of the cheap money but was wondering if 2.9% /60 months made any sense since I put on a lot of miles and would probably keep this Prius for at least 5 years if not more.
-Prius V with NAV....29,931.20 (lease deal)...MSRP 31,500
-Prius V with NAV dealer 'Demo' with 75 miles on it....29,500 Certified with 7 years warranty. and 2.9% interest for 60 months....MSRP of 31,500
-Prius V with NAV....28,995...MSRP of 31,500
Prius V no options....28,845
-Prius V Blizzard MSRP of 32,050....29,900 sale price
-Prius V with NAV at 31,500 MSRP...Selling at MSRP...From Manhattan Toyota. Sales mgr. said there's only 1900. of profit in the Prius between MSRP and Invoice and that those dealers quoting me below invoice won't come through with their deals. New York City auto dealers are notorious for highball tactics.
Again, not amazing numbers, but not bad either considering these were dealer first offerings. It seems that the V's are scarce but that's the package I'd prefer (for the LED lights/wheels, and fogs).
Anyone getting similar/dissimilar numbers WITH negotiating? What has been your tact and are you leaving the recall out of it?

If so, I'll go for the demo car (never titled) as long as it's at least $1000 less.
Who did you work with there?
Lease is for 3yr/36k
Truecar great price is <21,953
1st dealer: 2nd dealer:
MSRP 23,750 22,000
Residual 16,416 ?
Money Factor "2.9%" 0.00075
Both no Acquisition/disposition fee
Any other ideas?
I am also in the Bay Area - did you find a dealer to give you the money factor of .00075? Who? I was also quoted .00143 by two dealers. I definitely want the .00075!
Please let me know what you found out locally.
Thanks!
I bought a Prius III w/ Nav yesterday from Toyota of Palo Alto, California. The experience was pretty good -- and thanks to all the information I found here and on truecar.com I was able to negotiate a great price. $24,000 was the final purchase price (rebate included) and then with taxes and all costs, it was $26,875.21 or thereabouts. I hope this helps someone else. Oh and they included the car mats with this price. Happy to answer any questions people might have. I strongly recommend the dealership, although you should make sure you do your homework beforehand.
What do you guys think about this deal? Think I should try to squeeze the local dealer to try and offset the higher MF or take his deal to the non SET dealer and tell him to match with the lower MF?
I leased a Prius III for 3 years, 15K per year, blizzard pearl + floormats for $246.37 sign and drive at Acton Toyota of Littleton (MA). Since this car was leasing for $385+ per month for 12k per year and 2k-3k down when it came out, I'd say I got a good deal no matter what. Bottom feeding the market ain't bad at all and with gas prices probably going back up this summer the value of this lease will increase i think. Also, to maximize my deal I was able to take advantage of the free maintenance offer. I love cars and driving and work as an independent contract personal driver so I am used to the power and luxury of S550's or GL450's and was always skeptical of the Prius since I thought it was overpriced. However after driving it and the deal these days, it's also is hard to beat getting 500-600ish miles on a 12 gal tank on 87
I sent a graciously-worded email to Caldwell Toyota requesting their best offers for a lease on the 2010 Prius. Can you please tell me the name of the salesperson you worked with? I rented a 2010 Prius 2 when I was in Arizona (maybe it was a 1...), and loved it. Get back to me here!

The negative is ... (other than wanting a "killer" deal which is a given around here) I have a 2008 Prius Pkg 6 (leather and Nav) with 25k (silver) that I need to trade in.
The current incentives from Toyota expire April 6th... I am "assuming" (yes I know) that whatever is available after the 6th will be better.
Anyone here with any "insider" information on what might change on the 6th?
I've driven my Prius III for almost 3 weeks now (1800mi) with no problems. Yes the regen brakes don't enjoy a stretch of frequent bumps (I mean washboard like) but all you have to do is press harder on the brakes and it slows down just fine.
MSRP for this car was $33,103 including destination and out the door price was $30,413 plus tax, title, and license fees. By my calculations, this price was a $2,690 discount or $273 above Edmund's invoice. I also took advantage of the 2.9% financing for 60 months and the free maintenance for 2 years.
I located and negotiated the price of the vehicle in the morning and picked up the car that night. The winning dealership was Champion Toyota; Joe Myers was my second choice. Overall, a very pleasant experience!
So, for example, Sheliz mentioned he purchased the vehicle for IV/SY for ~30,400k. Edmunds invoice for that same vehicle is 28,338 (24,762 base + 3,564 solar)...maybe the shield/tint/special paint (?) ran the additional 2k?
Anyone successful in working from the invoice numbers and NOT the MSRP/sticker price?
