    Hey everybody! Currently have a 2005 Prius that we are looking at upgrading to a 2015 and seeing if the deal is right, we may jump on it. I've been doing tons of research on them and the prices I've come across for 'great deals' have mainly been on the east or west coast. I'm not trading my 2005 in and financing through my local bank. Here we have $2k rebate. So was wondering if there is anybody here near Colorado that has gotten similar deals. So far the best deals I've come across is on a deal is $23,600 + (FOUR model)tax on a dealers site. Have contacted a couple so far, but pretty early in the game. Pretty excited to get into one! Thanks!

    How close has your dealer come to the prices through truecar.com?

    Thanks for the welcome! So Truecar is at 25,700 (FOUR)which apparently excludes tax. Tax is roughly about 1,600-1,700. I do have 1 deal at 26,500 (FOUR) out the door. and another at 26,890 (Persona) So they are pretty close in that aspect. Waiting to hear back on a couple others. Honestly I know its unlikely but Ive seen a couple guys at about 23K out the door and that's where Id like to be for payments! Wishful thinking I know!

    Yes, the truecar price is for the car and includes destination. You'll have to add the BS fees and taxes. To compare apples to apples get the costs broken down. You're the buyer. You should know what you are buying. Ask for an explanation if the numbers don't add. (My guess is they won't.)

    The Persona isn't a Four but that may not be in the program.

    If you can get a car $3000-$4000 below the truecar price more power to you but I don't believe that is realistic.

    Yea after getting majority of my quotes, my best price is $23,500 plus the $1600 tax. I'm going wait to see next months incentives,maybe even maybe a Black Friday deal come along. I'm definitely in a position where I can wait for Toyota incentives to get better. Not sure if they will, but willing to take my chances! Thanks!

    Here's hoping you find what you want when you want it at your price.
