Dianne is amazing! As you'll see from her daily update above, she has a very impressive stock of the hard-to-find configurations and is able to get them quickly. She doesn't add any unwanted port- or dealer-installed options. What you can't immediately see, unless her PriusChat customers share our stories of successful buying experiences, is how honest, straightforward, friendly, and skillful she is at getting you just the car you want, quickly, at a more-than-fair price. On my recently purchased IV w solar roof, which she delivered within 2 weeks of my putting down a $500 deposit, I was willing (and expecting) to pay MSRP and she, on her own initiative, took several hundred dollars off. She emailed me at 9:30 at night to tell me the car had just rolled onto her lot, and then again early the next morning. When I wasn't going to be able to fly down to LA for close to a week, she suggested trucking it up to SF -- and even split the cost with me. Call/email her. You'll be very glad you did. And your neighbors will soon tell you how gorgeous your new car is.
A glut. I wish! You just wait till the "cash for clunkers" buyers come out of their waiting patterns. With my discounts of hard to find cars + the sheer demand for this car in most all packages, that volume's gonna drop like ... well, a ROCK, Bedrock! Bam! We are quite fortunate to have built up a steady flow for these cars and we're rewarded by a great inventory but the demand here is also high, so these flow thru fast. Di
Dianne, I want to take a moment to thank you for the information and deals that you are bringing to PriusChat. Yes, I know it's about getting business and making sales, but it's apparent that you do this really, really well. And your customers are receiving a superior buying experience. I'm not quite in the market for another Prius yet. But when I am, I'm certain that I'll be taking a vacation to SoCal to pick-up my new Prius! Bryan
So many people need to be in a Prius or some form of hybrid or electric vehicle. For the sake of our generations to come... yes, it is nice to have the sales and meet lots of very fine people, and fun to answer questions & learn a lot too! I hope we do get to meet someday! :hug: Thank you!!! And, Lora... no offense, but Jersey is way too muggy!
Hi Dianne, I'm looking for a Prius III with SR option in Pearl/Bisque. I live in bay area and have a clunker. Do you think you can help us? Thank you in advance. What is EJ only?
If the C4C program gets the financial shot in the arm it needs for absolutely certain, and we're doing it again (we have stopped as of Tuesday the 4th), then we will start it up again but those funds will go fast. I don't think you will have the luxury of time... and there won't be time for me to find a car that specific. I have III's coming with sunroofs... but also have many buyers who aren't doing C4C and are not concerned about the C4C and will buy their incoming car regardless of how the senate or the house vote. Those are deposits I am taking right now. If I turn someone away on a car because a deposit that hinges on the C4C contingency doesn't pan out... I've done myself and a secure, solid buyer a real disservice. Taking back-up deposits isn't fair.
Dianne, No worries. I found a III with SR at a local dealer (Toyota of Sunnyvale) and they are taking C4C too. Thanks again.
