Looking for a dealer/salesperson recommendation on Long Island ...

welcome!
have you looked through the pricing thread, a lot of recommendations there. granted, it's getting a bit unwieldy.

 

all the best in your search! keep in mind, prime has less hatch space and 4 seats. you get a lot of compensation though.

i just remembered, @JMalmsteen might have some long island experiences.

 

I got my Prime through the Costco auto buying program. They referred me to Sunrise Toyota. Picked up my Prime for list price IIRC. Overall, I had a good buying experience. If you don't have a Costco membership, it may be worthwhile to get one.

Good luck have fun with the test drive... you may want to ask them to charge up the car first.

BTW. I have posted a portion of my sales receipt on the pricing thread.

 

Costco is a great way to save money buying a car. They have the estimated MSRP savings on their website. In my area Costco has the Prime $2200 below MSRP.

 

Rhode Island! The traffic is rough and we ended up staying overnight though since we couldn't get to the dealer before they closed. Langway closes early on Friday, I think at 7 pm. We left LI at around 12 or 1 and didn't make it in time. We ended up staying at the Marriott (Fairfield) and going to Mohegan Sun. If you want to do it in a day, you need to leave early in the morning or possibly take the Orient Point ferry to avoid some of the traffic on 95. If you stay at a hotel, you are looking at $200 near the casinos or $300+ in Newport.

The LI dealers couldn't come anywhere close to the MA or RI dealer prices.

 

I love Toyota vehicles but this Nissan Leaf deal may be too good to pass.

I already bought a Prime this year. But, if I can double dip on the Federal Tax Credit and the New York State Drive Clean Rebate, I would pick this up too.

Update - I check and didn't find any limitation with claiming another set of Federal Tax Credit and the New York State Drive Clean Rebate. The Federal Tax Credit is limited to ones tax liability.

 

have you test driven one yet?

 

80 miles a day is a lot. you better rent one first, many here complain about prius seats. camry is pure luxury in comparison.

 

I agree.
With an 80 mile per day commute go check the seats out thoroughly. -Like a rental and long road trip.
I never had any problem with the seats, but it seems kind of binary, either Prius seats work for you, or they don't. If they don't? It could zap the "fun" out of ownership pretty quickly.

 

Remember that the V was designed in 2012 and the current Prius in 2016 or 2017 for the Prime. It's a much older cheaper design in the V. Take a look at the RAV4 Hybrid too for the cargo room. The only space in the Prius where I'm cramped is when I enter the car I have to duck my knees under the steering wheel. A solution could be to put the steering wheel up more but that's where I like it.

 

I don't know what the issue is with the Prius seats. I feel like this thing is like a rolling couch. The seats are huge in comparison to our 2007 Prius, or at least they feel that way. They are the most "generously" sized seats I have experienced and I feel like they swallow me they are so big. With the Advanced, it has the power option and you can put the seat in all kinds of variations.

I think this car was built to accommodate the expanding US population size, so either the seat will feel comfortable or way too roomy.

 

Duplicate.

What are the complaints about the seats?
