$2000 factory incentive on 2008s?

there is no factory incentive for 2008 prius cars

their will probably be no more factory incentives on prius until gas goes down and inventory starts to build up i bet

there are no financing offers from toyota financial etiher

 

They might add an incentive if people purchasing 08's didn't put down any cash and cancel for the option of 09's

 

I think what you're seeing is the "Extra Value Package MSRP Discount." I'm looking at the sticker for my 2008 touring 6 and sub-total before discount was $30,223 and after package discount of $1,750 it went down to $28,473. I believe Toyota offered the package discount after the tax incentives had expired as a way to boost sales. I'm not sure if the 09's will have it though.

 

Hard to say with the wait list, anything could be possible to sell the stock that is in transport now that gas dropped a bit.

 

That's it right there.

 

They are just juggling around the discount that's already there, to make you think you're getting something you are not.

 

Nope.

 

Yup.

ya, find it hard to believe there is a factory incentive on a car that has a waiting list of customers, some of which are buying at MSRP plus dealer markups

 

Sounds like they are hosing you. I just picked up a new 2008 touring with security system for 25,839. Massachusetts.

 

You don't show a location and I don't know that factory incentives would vary by Toyota Region, but the only "factory incentive" available in the 2008 Prius in the Southeast Region is the $500 military incentive that expires 03/31/09. There have been cases reported, even here at PC, however of dealers adding stickers to the window or in worse case even replacing the the Monroney_Label, which is illegal but rarely enforced. Kuckily most dealers don't stoop to this level of deception.

I have no idea if this has anything to do with your $2000 factory incentive or not. Just thought I'd pass on the information. :noidea:

 

My window sticker also lists the $2000 factory discount, for a sticker total of $28,284 for a package 6 non-touring. I paid the window sticker price. However, from what I understand, this is not as you are thinking as a "special" or a buydown or a cashback thing - it was factored into the MSRP.

 

There has been a $2000 cash incentive on extras for the 2008. The dealer was correct in saying that, but that doesn't stop him from adding to the sticker price. The incentive is from Toyota, the extra profit goes to the dealer.

 

exactly. good answer. i agree.

 

Just for clarification, which price is settled for the 2009 #6's? Invoice Price, Base Price, MSRP, Dealer Sticker price, average market selling price? And is that for Los Angeles Region, San Franciso Region or for all Toyota Regions including Southeast Region which I'm in? :noidea:
