Knowledge of this should be first-hand or from someone you really trust, and CURRENT---say, no later than a month or so before the post. If you can include a dealer phone number, and even the name of a salesperson or Fleet/Internet Mgr., please do so. If you also have SOLID info on "pre-order" (list) deposits, or actual order deposits, please include that. If you know the dealer is Costco-affiliated AND APPLYING DISCOUNTS TO THE PRIUS, please include that. If, after posting, you discover the dealer you posted is NOT selling at MSRP, please return and make note of it. We cannot be held responsible for what turns out to be inaccurate information. This is a good-faith effort to give people leads, nothing more.
Lithia Toyota of Vacaville (CA) (707) 446-7000 Ask for Fleet Mgr. $100 unconditionally refundable pre-order deposit. Hanlee's Chevrolet-Geo-Chevrolet Davis, CA Ask for Fleet Mgr. (530) 753-3352 no pre-order deposit
Tansky Toyota, Dublin Ohio Preorder for 06' at MSRP there is a $500 deposit for pre-orders that states non-refundable, and is applied to the purchase price at MSRP. This was through Mark Keppel (a prius classic, owner) Sales Consultant. Business Phone 614-766-4800. No solid preorder package info just estimated prices and odering based on current package wanted. He did make a list in his system as to what I wanted even though no confrimation on packages from him (Nav/no leather). EDIT: This was as of Oct 11th when I placed my order.
Josh Parker Reliable Toyota, Springfield, MO 417-889-9000 He's actually at the BMW dept. now, but ask specifically for him, tell him Evan Fusco sent ya. He'll take a $500 deposit and is a very honest/fair guy. No major last minute suprises, won't try to screw you over. I actually have him on my Christmas card list and stop in just to chat sometimes.
Toyota of Concord (CA) (about 25 mi. E of SF) (925) 349-2290 Peter Duggan, Internet Mgr. no pre-order deposit; don't know about order deposit, but think there's none
Ventura Toyota 6360 Auto Center Drive Ventura CA 93003 Ramon Martinez 888-567-6672 $500 refundable deposit (they don't cash the check). Ramon told me they never sell for more than MSRP, but won't go a penny below MSRP on a Prius. Not sure how long their list is ... I'm at the top of the list for 2006, but I've been on there since September (when I first heard about the tax credit).
Burnsville Toyota and Walser Bloomington in the twin cities of MN are both charging MSRP. However, they are barely west of the Mississippi! rpm
