[Update]
I finally got my beautiful Prius today! I haven't updated this thread for some time and quite a few things changed in between:

As I had mentioned earlier in this thread, I was all set to buy a 2012 Prius five, but then there were some issues with the blower/AC and the dealer was not very responsive. To me it looked as if the dealer was trying to wash his hands off and transfer all the unresolved issues to me (and to let me sort it out with my local dealer here). But despite this, I was still set to buy the car since I thought it was a nice deal.

By chance, when I was looking in cars.com on Sunday, I found a newly listed 2013 Prius five but without any pictures or description - Just that it had 10k miles. Based on my earlier experience in these websites, I was skeptical whether the car was genuinely Prius 5 and also whether it had AT package. However I just sent an email asking them to upload some pictures. Next day the dealer called me (the dealer was located 250 miles away) and asked me how he can help: I asked him to upload pictures and asked for carfax. He said he would do it. At this point, I was still skeptical of car being Prius 5 and with AT package.

The next day, the dealer sent me an email saying he had uploaded nearly 45 pictures of the car. I said I would take a look at it. When I did, to my surprise I found that it was indeed Prius 5 and also with AT package and certified hybrid with clean car fax report and asking for < $23k! I knew at once that this was the car I had to buy! The dealer told me that this was a loaner car for 7 months in their showroom and so technically this was not a 'used car' - All the more better! After showing my interest and further negotiation, I was able to reduce the price for under $22k and including no frills delivery to Austin (The dealer apparently is a very big dealership with more than 100 showrooms across US) I did all the paperwork electronically and today morning, they came to my house. The car looked practically brand new! Then I took it to local Toyota dealership and had a vehicle buyer's check done. They did all the check and said everything's fine and after detailed inspection they said everything looks almost brand new inside. That was the last nod of approval I wanted. 1 hour and breakfast later, I had signed all the papers and walked away with my 2013 Prius! I couldn't have been happier!

Thanks a lot for all the help I received over last few weeks! I almost feel like I am part of a big family! Going ahead, I am sure I will be asking a lot more questions and hopefully contribute to the forum too.

 

^I feel the reason I got this deal was probably because it was a loaner car and they would have got it new for < MSRP and don't have to jack up the price later because of trade in or other factors. The other reason was probably because the dealer was based in a very small city in Texas and I don't think Prius is a big seller there. I saw through true value that the car costs $21.5k. So I guess the dealer did not lose any money on it but did not make any money either. I am sure if it was a trade in based in Austin, they wouldn't have sold for < 24k. I might be wrong but that's my theory
