Prius Prime - official prices paid thread

Here is a pics. Somewhere in NJ about 10 mins after I drove off from the dealership

 

We're considering doing it again if the deals are good enough. And the 3000 mile coast-to-coast trip is four loooong days....

 

I assume that's 21 hours of driving over a 2-day period (10.5 hours per day)...As opposed to almost three days of driving...
If you manage to save $2-4K, that would translate to $100-200/hour payback...Less if you count the time it took to fly up to NJ and other hassles around arranging the remote purchase but still a descent payback for your time.

 

i bet you save more than 4k.

 

In September we saved about 7k since the dealers in Seattle were marking over MSRP.

 

Yes it’s 26 hours (I miss typed) spread out over 2 days. First day flew out at 6am to NJ around 11am. Left dealership around 2pm, ate, drove to somewhere in PA & slept. Next day drove all the way back home. Got home around midnight. I wish I have more vacation. Could have made a trip out of it.

 

That's why I happily paid $625 to ship ours from NJ to Dallas. The car deal was so good that I still came out way ahead (if I could have even found a Prime in Texas) - and left the driving to someone else.

 

Have it shipped. I did everything with a CA dealer, via emails and FedEx from my home in Utah.

 

Yes. Hindsight is a b*tch. Have it shipped!!! But have it shipped on a freight or something...not some idiot drives it...

 

Well I'm back in the Prius fold after a longish absence. It was honestly a no brainer with the current rebates and incentives. Price was $25729 OTD with an MSRP of $30,403. There are so many 2017's in my area (most of them in the DC area) that it was easy to get the color and options I wanted.

 

Just checked, toyota cash rebates remains the same

Welcome and congrats! Just wonder what is the mpg for this trip?

 

Toyota did not change the rebate, still $4500 in north east states, extended to 4/30.

 

I think California only has a $2000 rebate, roadtrip

 

anyone get a prime for 25OTD in CA? (specifically southern CA)? wonder if its worth the effort to have it sipped from a 4500 rebate place to CA (if i can get it to 25OTD after fees, shipping, etc)

 

Correct. There are many car hauling outfits. Ask the dealer you will be dealing with and I’m sure they will recommend a reputable company.

 

Are you looking for the Plus or Premium? I got a quote for the Premium trim at $29,760 OTD in SoCal with 0% APR, if you choose the $2000 rebate instead you would get that to $28,200 OTD. If they have a Plus maybe you could get it for ~$26k? Asked 6 different dealerships in SoCal and that was the lowest.

 

i prefer the plus because of the screen. do u think theres any compelling reason for the ~2k increase? i know its personal preferences but curious.

 

I am new to Prius game.

I got a quote of around $25,250 for the Prius Prime Advanced which has a MSRP of about 34,000 or so.

That's close to $9000 off of MSRP. This includes $4500 rebate, $1250 College graduate rebate, and the rest as dealer incentives.

Out the door with taxes, dealer document fees and registration/plate will be $27000.

Is this a good deal?

Also, I understand that 0.9% financing cannot be combined with $4500 cash back and I will have to get the car financed through toyota finance if I am taking the $4500 cash back and Graduate cash back. Is this correct?

I have excellent credit history. What finance rate should I expect with Toyota financing?

Thank you

 

You get quite a few more comfort features from stepping up to the Premium, but drive and performance are essentially the same between all 3 trims I think. I actually wanted the JBL speakers and blind spot monitoring so I went with the Advanced, which makes more sense to have a bigger screen as it has navigation. The sonar clearance for parking is also pretty sweet.

I don’t know how good inventory of the Plus trains are at this point, out of all the dealerships I checked only 2 out of 6 stil has 1-2 in stock 2 weeks ago.

Don’t forget the $4500 Federal tax credit, $1500 CA rebate, and $450 SCE rebate on the Prime too. Happy hunting!

The Bill Dube Dealership is an outstanding place to do business. After the brief, albeit mandatory, price negotiation period my wife and I came out with a sweet deal. Sales personnel chain of command were extremely agreeable to my every wish and desire. The salesman, Bill Lagrange, was knowledgeable and pleasant to work with.
