    Maybe this is too blunt, but what exactly are you paying for your 2010 Prius? I've been reading this site obsessively for weeks, and people talk about "$500 over MSRP" and "not paying full mark-up" and puffing about what they're going to do when they go into the dealership, but I'm wondering about those who have actual contracts to purchase in your hands.

    Tell us what configuration you're buying and tell us what you're paying, please.

    Inquiring minds want to know!^_^

    Some of us can't say what we're paying due to the circumstances. There is an order database though where folks can list what they're paying, etc.

    The circumstances for HTMLSpinnr are the results of early onset dementia. It's really quite sad. I understand that it was alcohol induced. ;)

    Ditto about some not being able to talk final price, but as Rick has mentioned you can check out the order tracker page and after people begin taking delivery they'll hopefully update their purchase price and you can see what people are paying.

    I've checked out the order tracker thread and prices aren't posted, of course.

    Patience just isn't my middle name!

    LORD, grant me patience (and I want it RIGHT NOW!) I ordered mine Feb. 15 and the deposit receipt states "MSRP". The dealer called me recently and quoted the same as Toyota published.
    I am a person that likes "instant gratification" so the almost 3 month wait so far has been a bit trying. My wife says this is good for me, but I highly disagree with her.

    Lol, the wait has become unbearable for me as well. Me and my dad had 'ordered' ours last September! Talk about a long wait :eek:
