    Hello! Spring has arrived in west Michigan and I have been waiting and saving to finally dump my SUV and hop into a Prius. I have decided upon a Touring model with pkg.6

    If you bought in Michigan, where did you buy your car?

    I really like the internet sales mgr. at Sunshine Toyota in Battle Creek. He quoted me 26,945 + TTL (28,775 OTD).

    The above quote was with no haggling or counter offer. I checked with one other dealer who came in about $1100 higher.

    Can I do better?

    Thanks and best wishes :drum:

    I bought mine at Page Toyota in Southfield. I had a nice experience there. But my sales person no longer works at Page.

    Hi MichGal,
    We really enjoyed looking at your webpage. We lived in A2 for seven years and loved every minute of it!

    I know Page Toyota and will check with them. Thanks for the reference.

    Best wishes and GO BLUE! :peace:

    I bought at Fox Toyota in Rochester Hills, MI. They were the lowest price out of 20+ quotes and they said they would beat any quote I got. I know at least 2 others here that have also bought at the same dealer. Also keep in mind I think you can get $500 more off for having a previous buyer refer you to them. Be sure to call or email them and get a quote.

    GO GREEN!!! :D

    If price is a major consideration go to edmunds.com and get several bids from your area. You should be able to get a car for less than "What others are paying."

    Be careful of dealer add ons.

    I'm going to second the recommendation for Mike Fox Toyota. We drove down from Northern Michigan to buy from them. We have a 2006, so I can't speak to current prices, but they were honest, fair, and not pushy. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, but there were no gotchas at all.

    So, Fox Toyota in Rochester Hills is the place that gets the nod from two happy customers!

    Narrowing down the field is so helpful and I really appreciate your replies.

    By the way Spartan....I have an undergraduate degree from MSU and feel perfectly at home yelling GO GREEN!!! :whoo:

    Thanks and best wishes-
