Best Price on a 2014 Prius lift back ?

I got a pricing report from fightingchance.com, I think it was worth it. Based on the information I offered my local dealer $23k OTD. They didn't take it and I shopped around and got exactly that without revealing the price I was looking for: How to buy a car | PriusChat

The information that I had at the time from fightingchance.com showed the incentive for the 2013 was $2k with a cash purchase or $1k when financing with Toyota. The 2014 was either $500 incentive or Toyota financing.

Just noticed you are in CA, just contact Diane: Dianne's SoCal Deal Blast January 2014 | PriusChat

She had a really good price but shipping from CA to FL made her price more than what I got locally.

Be careful when comparing to others OTD price I did that and after further research realized the tax in that persons state was half of mine (3% versus 6%).

 

The prices seem to be trending downward in the past couple weeks, so looks like even through TrueCar you should be able to get the deal you want, or maybe you can score even better. I'm still on the fence between Prius and a different car, so hoping the price will finally come down enough that I can't afford not to.

 

Yeah, the rebate + current discounting is what's making Prius look more appealing to me now. Also considering Scion xB. Obviously much worse MPG, but what I mainly need is a roomier-than-compact inexpensive-to-own hatch. With my moderate driving habits Prius MPG at first seemed overkill, but xB's 24 MPG is a bit less than I'd like.

 

I paid 24,800 before TTL including solar on a prius 3 2014 in Austin, tx on 1/31/14.

 

Any update to this? I am in the market for a 2014 Prius 2.

Thanks

 

I found TrueCar was a good starting point for negotiations, and sometimes it also helps to look at the TrueCar prices for nearby markets that might be cheaper. (Some people have had good luck with emailing a bunch of dealers for competitive quotes, but when I did that they always seemed to come up higher than the lowest TrueCar quote.) You can also find the current local incentives listed under "View Incentives" - very handy, because dealers don't always know the currently running incentives. The chart at the bottom also gives you an idea about the overall price trends. You might be able to negotiate better deals in the end, but I found it at least gave a good starting point and rough idea of local market trends.

It looks like this month prices nationally might be trending even lower than last month, but on the other hand, I'm not sure your area has all the incentives that have been running in SoCal.

 

I am out here in NoVa.

The best price I have found so far for on a 2014 prius 2 with floormats is $23,122 plus tax, tags and processing fee of $500.

 

Looks like TrueCar's showing it for around $1000 less if I punch in an Alexandria zip code (may not include floor mats.) You could try showing that to your best price dealer and ask them to beat it. Otherwise, you could generate the certificate for whatever dealer is offering that TC price and start working with them.

Note that the TrueCar quotes don't guarantee that the dealer will have the exact car you spec'ed - but if they don't then they presumably have to offer comparable savings off another car, which you may or may not want. When I was at first shopping for 2013 closeouts I found that process didn't work very well, because there wasn't much inventory around. But once I started looking at 2014's, everybody had plenty of inventory, so the TrueCar quotes tended to be pretty "real."

 

I don't believe true cars price has freight included and it includes the $750 incentive. If one wants the 0% financing than that's not a go.

 

I think the TC quote did include whatever destination charge when I did it, but definitely not tax/title/license. I ended up getting the mats included, though I forget exactly how that happened because I recall nobody wanted to do that when I was trying to negotiate 2013 closeouts. Think the dealers were just more motivated on the 2014's. I didn't use the Toyota financing though, so yes, if you want the 0% vs. cash incentive that'll definitely change things.

 

Paid $23,000 before TTL on a 2014 Prius 3, with MSRP of $26,800. Took 0% financing. This is in SW Ohio.

 

Centis-that a good price!

Any others?

 

Thanks. We were firm with our desired pricing, but TBH, the dealer didn't fight us too hard and they were very easy to work with.

We probably left a few dollars on the table, but at a certain point our time is worth more than another round of haggling.

 

Prius Two $20,888 before Tax. We are at Washington State and get it from the Oregon Dealer.

 

I just bought a 2014 prius package 2. OTD price of $21,983 including fees (DMV, dealer) and carpeted mats. This is in Oregon so no sales tax.

 

I purchased a 2014 Prius Four (included the upgraded Nav/Audio, the solar panel and the "leather" seats) for $27K. The deal felt good to me!
