2012 Prius Four, $27863, good price?

Here was the extent of my negotiating for my 2011 Prius 4.

ME: Hey, I really love that black Prius over there.
Dealer: Yep, it's nice. Just rolled in today and we'll have it sold within the week. Prius is about the only car on lot that we never mark down.

 

ME: See ya .....

Sounds good to me. Looks to be a little below invoice.

 

I was able to get a better price on my Prius then what I was quoted from USAA but I was looking at a 2010 that was after the 2011 models were on the lot so the dealer was motivated.

 

Hey there,

I'm in the same boat looking for either a Prius 3 or 4 base. Here are the best quotes that I've gotten so far. I live in Silicon Valley and the best quote was from Magnusen's Toyota in Palo Alto.

Pearl White
$25,367 invoice
-offer at $24,867.00

Prius4
available 3/19th
27,900-invoice
-$27,400.00 (offer)

Let me know if you can do better!

 

Depends on many things. Do you know the exact MSRP/Invoice for your car? It can vary depending on your color (white adds $200),
any accessaries it has (in my area they mostly come with at least the basic carpet/mats pkg), destination charge and supply/demand for the prius in your area etc.

 

I was just quoted $27,983 + TTL for a IV with only mats and cargo net. Also I was quoted $24,800 for a III and $1295 for adding aftermarket leather (Katzkin?). These are SoCal prices. Does anyone have the rough dealer invoice for a IV?

This will be a third car so I'm not in a hurry; although the right deal could send me to the dealers asap. Should I wait until closer to month's end for a better deal? Any over/unders on future incentives? Hopefully this purchase will close better than my recent mattress purchase, where two days later my mattress was on sale for 1/2 off (damn you Sit and Sleep!)

 

best advice I can give you is get #'s from several dealerships. I wanted to trade my wife's Benz for a prius V...one place said (after trade) like 9k, another place said $6,700. I asked the place that said 9k if they would beat $6,700 by $100 or so, and they didn't even believe me that $6,700 was for real.

shop around. you never know.

 

I haven't done enough research on a Prius IV, but you should def hit up a dealer. If dealers can't beat it, then you can always go back to it.

 

Here's the breakdown in the NorCal area for a base Prius IV with carpet/mats. (I'd think it's the same in SoCal ?)

MSRP(regular colors) = base + destination + mats pkg
= 28,235 + 760 + 225
= $29,220

Invoice (regular colors) = 26,284 + 760 + 140
= $27,184

For Blizzard Pearl add $220 (MSRP) or $195 (Invoice)

So Blizzard Pearl IV with carpet/mats only

MSRP = $29,440
Invoice = $27,379

This is based on my research.

 

Termite...thank you!

 

That's $2000 something off MSRP. I was quoted $2200 and some change off MSRP on a MY12 Four order with whatever options & accessories I wanted. That's Minnesota March pricing which varies by a huge amount between stores.

Just picked mine up at Manhattan Beach Toyota - ask for Dominic for $27,390 while Dianne at Carson wanted $28, 000.

Prius IV blizzard pearl and grey leather no sunroof.

 

Not bad you saved a grand from MSRP

Mike

 

does the $27,390 include the $760 destination charge?

thanks,
Dale

Mike

 

Yes, Sir! Speak to Dominic at Manhattan Beach Toyota.
