Few weeks away from buying a prius c 3

You are at the best part of the buying process, enjoy! Be sure to get all the toys you want, these cars tend to last a long time

 

Apparently the yellow is very new: New 2014 Color Sunburst Yellow. | PriusChat If you don't need to buy right away, hopefully they'll start showing up in your area?

 

Looks like the Yellow is available in Southern California now, so it's a Regional thing. If you want one, have them bring one in for you. They can do it, and will if they want your sale. Skip the sales guys/gals and talk directly to the Fleet Manager. That will also get you best price without all the games. If you can travel, contact Dianne. She has the highest reputation here.

I've been lurking for the past 5 weeks. Purchased a new 2013 C3 three weeks ago now. Just wanted to let you know that there's a Sun Fusion C1 up in Milwaukee. I just think its taking a bit more time for the 2014 models (2013 didn't have Sun Fusion) to start showing up on the lots in the midwest.

 

Please take this to heart. I purchased a 2012 priusc and I loved the car but this winter in the midwest awoke me to the problem I have been denying. The prius c is not good in the extreme winter conditions we have experienced this year I loved my c but had to get rid of it. The thin tires the traction controll that basically shuts down the cars capability to move and the small size made driving this in bad weather very difficult. If you plan on having an emergency bad weather vehicle I strongly suggest the c as nothing can compare to the mileage you will get but be carefull driving in the winter storms as I have commuted on back roads for years and the c was the first car I had that made me feel uncomfortable about bad weather driving. Loved my C in the summer/spring/ and fall but this winter was the pits.

 

call diane at carson toyota in cali. she'll get you a good deal and ship it to your house. maybe she can find you a banana. all the best!

 

snows would be a must if you absolutely, positively, have to be somewhere at any given time.

 

Wilde Toyota. I attempted to post a link but I don't have enough posts yet. Just checked and its still listed. It's their only 2014 they have posted.

 

This winter has been extreme, and most cars have had a hard time getting around, so I would not discount this car, unless you have the money for a Jeep with snow tires, and extra gas, one must make do with cars that are better left home on days its storming out.

 

I just bought a 2014 Prius C on Friday. Our dealer had several yellow cars! I was not interested though, I wanted mine in Summer Rain! My best advice is to go in with the price you want (from research on websites like TrueCar, Edmonds...etc) and keep that in the back of your mind at all times. We held firm and as much as I wanted the car, I was willing to walk away. They were great and I actually did not have to do a ton of back and forth with them.

 

I got the best deal from truecar.com. I would not expect much of a discount on a '14 since they are now just showing up at dealers. Our c has been fine this winter with snow tires on it. I can imagine the stock tires suck in the snow because of the hard compound and tread design.

 

"Few weeks away from buying" is what I said the day I bought my c. However, it turned out there was a 4 in the color I wanted when I went to the dealer to find out how I could get a blue one.

 

We got ~7" up here today and I drove mostly on streets that hadn't been cleared yet. No snow tires and no complaints about the C. Only thing I did was make a slight detour to avoid one of the larger steep hills, but I would have done that with any smaller 4 cylinder.
