    I was quoted a price of $25,688.00 on a Prius 4, plus taxes. That sounds too good to be true considering other 4s seem to be in the low $27k range. This is in the Denver, CO area.

    Believe CO still has some hybrid tax incentives, though I am confused how much $$ now. Could be quoting price after credits which is fairly common practice for Plug_ins. Are you saying same dealer is quoting different prices?

    Well I don't buy it if they quote me a low price but when I get there that was a bait and switch, I go home or go to a dealer who is telling the truth on price. You might want to try internet price quotes.

    I even asked what the cash price would be, plus a lease, excellent credit, 15k/yr for 3 yrs. Got this:

    "Cash price would be $25688.00 plus taxes and fees. Lease are so complex with all the different things that come in to play, when would be a good time today to get together so I can go over all the options for you?"

    It may be a bait and switch scenario. Just be prepared to walk away if the deal changes.

    That was my thought to. The dealer is about 1/2 hr from my house (where I work) but 5 min from my office. I can come up with a reason to go into the office and then car shop.

    best I have seen here is $1300-1000 off and with gas still going up that may change..............

    it sounds like a bait n switch, check peoples reviews of dealership. I luv my dealership and only deal with sales manager and GM. They had 2 2012 Prius 4's on the lot with solar pkg/entune $33893msrp paid $29200 plus taxes
    I was happy with the deal but it was new but a 2012 I did not care

    Sounds like a bait and switch.
    Before you go in, ask for a quote for a silver or any color, and have them email you the invoice or the VIN.
    See if they will give you the same "price"

    We paid $26,348 + $352 Doc Fee + tax & reg, and this was a few weeks ago with the 0% financing. Prius Four with carpet mats and wheel locks, in New England.
