Full Price +for 2008 Prius in So Cal??

1. Without tax and license
2. Deal fell out because the car was "sold" in the few hours between 5:30 pm and 9 am. How much do I believe that? Why does that happen every time I talk to a dealer???????

 

Concord Toyota is now listing the Prius package 2 at the same higher price as in So Cal ($23909-23989). Called Daly City Toyota, was told same price but they might negotiate down to $23,400.

I suspect the good deals of just a week ago have evaporated. That is what the dealers say in my conversations both in LA and SF.

Sooooo, I went to Hollywood Toyota (who had quite a bit of inventory, lots of package 6's and a few package 2's) this morning, and got them to give me last week's discounted offer plus $300 --- Bought the car in my second choice of color (Driftwood) in a package 2 for $22,700 plus added $1500 (yeah, way too much) for leather conversion. My car should be ready in a few days. I feel like I was taken, but there wasn't any other offers that were better out there.

I wish I had shopped a few weeks ago, but hey, my old car hadn't died yet. Who knew?

 

Maaaan, what a difference 3 weeks make!!

 

Absolutely! Agreed. That is why I rushed out and bought my Prius even tho
it was my second choice. I debated waiting for the 2009's (and may regret not doing so, who knows?) but I figure the costs of everything are skyrocketing, the dollar is weak, and I am paying over $3500 a year in gas prices alone at the current rates. I am sure I am not the only one out there who has sworn to only go with the highest MPG cars available in future. It is about time. And nearly too late. Maybe too late.
