Dianne's SoCal Prius 2016 year model inventory and incentives

update in new spring thread

 

I mean invoice.
MSRP is sticker pricing.

There's nothing wrong with being prepared. It helps immensely to know what you want (to both speed the process and sometimes, with retail salesmen efforts, to avoid being upsold into a car or deal you haven't researched) .. but make no mistake here: cash don't talk.
It used to, when banks, financial things were handled differently and less profitably. When down payments thru outside sources were held back and when it took week(s) to receive funds for your cars from financial sources. But, nowadays, it's literally electronically received overnight.
And, in my state (CA), the F&I menu is required, even if it's just for you to say NO. But, cash doesn't talk. I assure you, I prefer someone who's using our TFS or other bank financing or leasing for many reasons. We get funded more easily when it's financed, and your "cash" typically isn't green as a buyer. It's a personal check (to a dealership that's a piece of paper with a signature on it) or a promise of a check or cashier's check to arrive from a credit union or outside funding bank that won't clear as fast as my TFS overnite-wired funds. It's complicated. But, honest nonetheless. And, the more good credit we send to TFS permits us to get some bad credit thru with less of a grind. There's a hassle with personal check because even if I call your bank right now, and verify funds, who's to say you're not going to pull them and put them elsewhere? I know I sure as heck wouldn't take a random personal check in my driveway for my own car, so doing this on a larger business/dealership scale means certain measures have to be taken. Credit run or ID verified or pricy check guarantees.
If you planned to finance, it's smart to give the dealership a shot at it. If using the dealer's financing options don't make financial sense for you, then don't do it. Use your own.

Ah finally. I just got another truckload of 2016's. Thank heavens, been sold out for a week... noting like restocking the shelves!! What's shown up tonight are primarily 2's and 3 tourings. Looks like tomorrow I'll see a few more of the 2's and 3 tourings + a pre-sold black/black 4 with AT/CX.

I posted my inventory in the dealers section already and it's hard to keep it current in both places with the rest of the stuff I need to do daily..

here right now are 2's
pearl white, silver, gray, red, black
3 tourings
gray, green., pearl white,
4 with AT CX (pre-sold)

I hope to see the 2017 PLugIns with some interior design changes (koff) and, in about a year. Maybe sooner? No green HOV decals left, so that car had better have 3-4 times the range the old models did....

 

What about the leftovers?
I have plenty. The $3K rebates cleared my 3rd floor storage and half my 2nd floor quick. I still have about 55 left (of which 45 total are 2's and 3's) so those will sell fast!! Not worried about them at all. With the large rebates or customer cash combined with 0 apr, or the low leases, they are flying out of here. The lease on a 2016 versus a 2015 is so dramatically higher, it isn't a shocker that we'll be sold out in 20-30 days tops.

That said, while I am pretty vocal about the rear end of the new 2016 Prius being pretty bizarre, and the inside console shiny white parts resembling a commode... that car itself drives SO incredibly nice. It just didn't feel like a Prius... and the seats are great. It felt like an Avalon hybrid to me. I guess as long as I don't have to look at the back end, and can cover the console with a black applique piece.... I'd be happy!

 

OMG. I was just allocated 62 more Prius coming. I'm in PriusHeaven!! Yay!
I'll add the list of what's coming as soon as I finalize the allocation.
