We are looking a Prius with very few options to use as a delivery vehicle and was wondering if anyone has had any recent "good" dealer experiences in SoCal? Also are there any current finance or rebates? Thanks
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(CoronaPrinter @ Jul 7 2007, 07:14 PM) [snapback]474825[/snapback]</div> I just got an acceptable price (lower than local dealers from Diane "Di" at Family Toyota in San Juan Capistrano for a Camry Hybrid.. I emailed her at diane@earthlink (she's a contributer to Priuschat) requesting her lowest price. She sent me a straightforward price, no further haggling needed/expected. Diane Whitmire San J Capistrano 949-493-4100 xt 214 Good luck, Jane
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(shrinkwrap @ Jul 7 2007, 05:32 PM) [snapback]474833[/snapback]</div> I actually got an unfavorable qupte from Diane. In fact it was one of the worst quotes I had received. As of right now, Pasadena has given me the best quote.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(toade @ Jul 8 2007, 11:38 AM) [snapback]475118[/snapback]</div> Contact Tina at Thousand Oaks Toyota. I did, and I discussed what she had in inventory and made her an offer on the car I wanted. She was a pleasure to work and I would go back to T.O. Toyota for my next car and have no qualms recommending her to frineds looking for Toyota's. Thousand Oaks Toyota is 45 minutes away from where I live...there are at least 6 dealerships much closer to me...but Tina de;ivered on her promise.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(noelty @ Jul 9 2007, 06:36 AM) [snapback]475461[/snapback]</div> Yeah, I actually got a good quote from Thousand Oaks as well. Thye offered to beat my lowest quote at that time.
I just got quoted 25,700 for a package 6, at Marina Del Rey Toyota. seems like a good price no? They just said i can't have the metallic grey for that price though... should i go for it?
Hi I recently bought a prius from DCM Toyota of Oxnard. The internet manager's name is Paul Choi. It was a very straightforward experience. I got a Touring package 6 for 26K even. I think that is slightly under invoice. He sold it out of their allotment "off the boat" and I was able to pick it up in a few days. Availability of touring editions seems to be somewhat constrained in the Southland at the moment so I was very happy with my deal.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(emb623 @ Jul 12 2007, 11:33 PM) [snapback]477976[/snapback]</div> I've gotten quotes for 25,900 for the prius pkg 6. If the above post is true, then I would go for a touring if you can get them to offer the same price to you. The best I could do on a touring was 26,900. I have been having a hard time getting decent quotes on a prius in SoCal. Do you think it might be because I always ask for magnetic gray? Seneca P.S. My first post!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Seneca @ Jul 14 2007, 12:28 AM) [snapback]478552[/snapback]</div> Contact Tina at Thousand Oaks Toyota...tell her what you want and make her an offer...she was very straight forward with me...I picked up my touring package 6 there last week.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(noelty @ Jul 15 2007, 01:16 AM) [snapback]478994[/snapback]</div> That's funny because I had a terrible experience with her just this past week. Twice she said she would hold a car for me and both times she sold them and made some lame excuse. I ended up buying one yesterday from Cerritos Toyota after getting jerked around from Tina Friday night.
which model did you get and how much did you pay at cerritos?! i am in a hurry to buy one and keep getting jerked around as well!!!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(emb623 @ Jul 15 2007, 11:08 PM) [snapback]479429[/snapback]</div> I got a package 6 for about $26K. I probably could have gotten a bit less, but I was just ready to be done with it. I got several quotes online and they were all offering about $1,500 off MSRP. The guy at Cerritos was pretty decent. He pulled out all the sales tricks when negotiating my trade in (Audi A4), but I expected that. Anyway, he honored the internet price and everything else was pretty painless (although it took forever to get out of there). His card is in my car, but I think it's Michael Quezada?? He is the fleet manager. I think they had a black package 6 as well (at least they did as of Saturday). If you go, tell him Stacey referred you! Good luck!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Seneca @ Jul 14 2007, 12:28 AM) [snapback]478552[/snapback]</div> Update! I got my new pkg 5 Magnetic Gray Prius! After scouring the O.C. area and I got a decent deal from Sean (fleet manager, pleasant to work with, no tricks!) at Escondido Toyota for 24,981 + TTYL. I am happy, the next best deal offered was 25,700. They were very straight forward, and not pushy, a good experience! Just watch out for the extended warranty, they initially asked for $2500!!!!!!!!!!! lol After mentioning I could get it here for $900 They went down to $1195. I could have bargained down a little more I suspect but I just said ok at that point (I think it's better than a 3rd party warranty). Good luck all those who are still looking!!!!!!!!!! Seneca
Well we picked up our new package #2 Red Prius at Crown Toyota $22,240. They honored the price and went thru very little car "salesmanship", the finance guy had all the paperwork printing, and of course trying to sell maint/warranty/LoJack. The final contract printed with an "optional $695 for security device" when I asked, he said sorry, must have been "in the background" maybe added by the sales person. He did remove and of course it reduced the payment (credit union finance), although "Toyota Credit would be better". But when told no thanks, he did move on and complete as requested. So I would give them a 5 out of 10 rating, but I'm not sure I have really ever had a 10 out of 10, except when we used to lease and just call, ask a couple of prices/models, never see the car, and just go and pick up. But leasing can be more expensive too.
Check out Longo Toyota. Email Ali Adnan, Internet Sales Manager. [email protected]. I purchased a Seaside Pearl Option 6 with 9 months of Sirius Radio. OTD price: $26784.89. An they deliveried it to San Diego 100 miles away from them. Signed the papers in 20 miunutes. Easy car purchase ever.
Are the prices mentioned OTD price or...? Ali Adnan is the internet sales manager? I thought Willy Lam is the internet sales manager from longo...anyways is the price from longo a base or touring model? Thank you...I am very close to longo and getting a prius in a month or so so I am curious about the good price as well. Thank you.
This was for a base model. He qouted me a base price but I was demand the price to "out the door" so no hidden fees would be tagged on after the agreed upon price. I rough estimate for taxes, lic. and registration is 10% of the qouted price. Let me know if you have any questions.
Guys, just picked up my 2008 Touring Package #6 Magnetic Grey from Penske Toyota in Downey, CA. $26,722 without Tax, license, fees, etc. Got it from Linh Lam (Fleet Manager). The best no hassle experience by far... EVER. Even got 6.00% 60 month financing from them. Give him a call and tell him Charles sent you 562-904-5686
