Prius Prime - official prices paid thread

The 2018 incentives aren't anywhere near the 2017 incentives (4,500)

 

It didn't get that high until spring so maybe they'll have it again spring 2019 for 2018s. It depends on supply vs demand.

 

I've been shopping around the Seattle area and prices seem high. Anyone having luck in the Northwest? Looking at Advanced trim and the prices before TTL and fees are consistently above $31,000. I'll post what I get this weekend.

 

Yeah, I'm hoping to either find a crazy good deal amd/or just wait for better incentives. Driving our 2014 Rav4 for now so we don't technically NEED a 2nd car, but it is very convenient.

 

I wanted to ask you guys question, is it legal for dealer to ask for your social even though you wont be using their financing? The dealer stated that is a requirements after 9/11...sounds like a scam. Also the funny part is in the sale paperwork they listed the financing price, they said its standard for CA...because they dont know if I will call the bank and cancel the check after, they said not to worry about that as once they received the money on their end I will be off the hook...however all this sound sketchy...I haven't done car shopping for 10+years..any tips greatly appreciated.

 

Anyone found any information on 2019 Prime dates? I've read 2019 Prius is probably Nov/Dec, so is Prime released shortly after regular Prius?

 

I had to provide my SSN just to write the check. I paid cash. Dealer said they do a credit check?
Why? I don’t know.

 

The best deals are for the 2017 Prime's, if you are interested.

 

Do you mean, have the dealer put a new 12V battery for the 2017 model?

 

Yeah...they do give you all the BS reason for you to hand them your SSN because they want to cover their interest by FORCED financing you. If you check your sales contract, does it stated as you were financing 100%? They mention this will be a backup for them (just in case we canceled the check). This sound like a shady practice and illegal...

I got mine about $24300 NET price for Plus (special color option).

 

It didn’t show up as a “hard” credit check/pull.
Yet.

 

yes

 

Do dealer need to give us Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin when selling new car in CA?

 

Got in Portland, OR. July 20, 2018
2018 Prius Prime Plus
Magnesium Blue
MSRP: 28,303 including destination and floor liners/cargo tray
Manufacturer's Rebate: 1,500
Dealer incentive: 2,630
Price out the door 24,173

 

We bought a Lexus Rx350 and a Prime this year and had to provide our SSN even though we paid cash.

 

Just picked up a 2018 Prius prime advanced. AutoNation in Cerritos CA. $30,900 plus tax including $1500 cash back. $34,600 out the door. At first they told me there was not much room to lower the price. They finally lowered the price. I thought it was a good deal.
