Hey everyone, I was just talking with a friend, and he mentioned that Michael Toyota in Fresno has lots of Prii on the lot, and they are offering some pretty good financing rates. I'm not trying to shill for them or anything, but if you live in CA, and can't find what you want at your local dealer, give Michaels a shot. You may save some dough. Fresno is ~2.5 hours from Oakland, ~3.5 from LA/Santa Monica. As a slight aside, I bought my Prius there in April 2006, and it was a great experience. Their Prius geek is a guy named Evan, who spent over an hour showing me many of the little Prius quirks that we all know and love. Michael Toyota (559) 431-6000
...I was just talking with a friend, and he mentioned that Michael Toyota in Fresno has lots of Prii on the lot, and they are offering some pretty good financing rates. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That's interesting. I stopped by in June 2006, & they didn't have a one. Now, I would guess that most dealers have at least a few. Toyota added one more shift last year to help boost production. I live in Walnut Creek CA & our local dealer has at least a dozen, I think.
Supply has caught up with demand, thus the increase of cars in lots, and of advertising. Looks like a buyer's market, no need to pay over msrp anymore.
