Welcome and congratulations on your new purchase. I hope you enjoy your great new car as much as I have enjoyed my III. Seven months later and I still look for excuses to drive !
Yes I got my Blizzard pearl III with Solar Roof (includes navigation + blue tooth + backup camera) for $25300 + TTL
I bought my Prius yesterday... so excited! I will get it next week. Anyways I am in Canada so the prices can't really be compared but I paid almost $4000 CAD less than MSRP for the Prius with Premium Solar package... (currently the canadian $ is about equal to USD but the MSRP here in Canada is way higher).
That doesn't make sense. If you finance through them with their preferred lenders, they can make an extra commission and then they have a bit more room to discount the selling price. Paying cash or with your own financing doesn't mean you get the lowest selling price.
The winds constantly change, and every dealership & salesman is going to have one of those weeks or months where they just want to make a low profit sale - which can give them credit for add'l cars in future months.
