there you go, $20,500. for a Two. i paid $21,000. in 2008. incredible, especially when you consider inflation.
What's your bottom line pricing (...now) on a '15 Prius v four... ? I'd guess 6400.00-off MSRP, to move your remaining units. We're well into second-quarter 2015. First quarter '15 discount was around 6k, ...with little negotiation.., (citing a v four model, for example, in my metro area). So, I'm thinking Toyota will provide higher cash-discounts for the remainder of this model year--- in anticipation of their new '16 release. Any third quarter discount information available now? Thanks.
Hello Dianne, I've talked with multiple Toyota dealerships in SOCAL and they all seemed to be able to match the TrueCar price for the 2015 prius 2 for financing which is about $20,400 before tax and fees. I do know some dealers get rid of a # of cars on their hand each month to meet some sort of quota(?). I am wondering if the Truecar price is the best deal I will get? I am looking to make the transaction sometime in June but I can purchase asap if there is an attractive deal. Hope to hear back from you soon. Thanks! JS
TrueCar is merely a "starting" point in purchase negotiations. Personally, I'm a fan of the Prius v model and noticed today, for example, that a staggering (no arm-wrestling) $6200.00+ off MSRP..... is now common for a '15 v four wagon---in second quarter sales!! With a "cash" (or your "own pre-approved financing") purchase, one can really tilt the scale and knock pricing down for other consumers. Look for the absolute lowest price, period. Say no to F&I add-ons. Don't be rattled by dealership salespeople-- quotas are for salespeople and support staff--not buyers. You should be dealing only with non-sales people. Don't like the offering? Then, counter--- and be prepared to move on. I'd also suggest you consider looking at out-of-state dealers for your best sale price.
I find if you're able to reduce the truecar price, it'll only be about $100...and that's a big if. Most dealers offer their rock bottom price there to attract people to their dealership...like a low bid for your business
...Yeah, but it depends on how and when you buy. When I bought my new '14v three in 4th quarter, I used online pricing guides, manufacturer "discounts", advertised dealer "specials", and then averaged out a good price. One of the sites I used was Truecar...simply as a reference. Personally, I'm skeptical of the official "certificate" thing. Nothing against TrueCar, but I don't want to present an official "certificate"---I'm just buying a car at an agreed upon price. I'm old-school: a phone call to the dealership confirming a purchase agreement should suffice. And... having legitimate research in your back pocket clearly helps. Anyway, after arriving at my target price, I simply emailed the internet "manager" to see if their dealership could meet my price. I was ready to pull the trigger on a local in-stock model. Another nearby dealer matched the price. So, the original dealer announced that they would knock 500.00 off the competitor's offer. Drove over and wrote a check.... No "certificate" needed. Done deal.
And, while we all happen to be discussing this... I just don't understand why a pricing "update" somehow mandates the removal of previous pricing posts. Let the discounts flow...as the model-year ends, please.
Because supply and demand pricing kicked in as the hov stickers are no longer available. It's not a discount on the update
Posted pricings here have included the vast variety of Toyota Prius models. Some buyers aren't concerned with an HOV sticker, such a Prius v buyers.
I was answering your question why previous prices have been deleted on updates, it's not always a lower price when the updates happen. Certain promotions end and prices can increase. So the old prices are deleted to reduce confusion. Plug ins with hov stickers are selling at msrp now
Sacramento is a different market, it's very competitive and dealers give crazy prices there. Even the rebate is more, $3000 vs $2000 in socal
okay. I'm simply for negotiating a good deal. All Prius buyers should be permitted to get their best possible deal at time of purchase.
