    Hi all,

    New to the forum. I've been working with an Auto Broker to obtain my Prius. What's the consensus on Auto Brokers? Are they an ok thing? Any good or bad experiences? Here is what my Broker quoted me at on a Package 5 Base Prius (non-touring that is)

    24522.00 close to invoice
    - 500.00
    24022.00 s
    + 55.00 doc fee
    + 2106.74
    + 204.00 DMV
    + 8.75 Tire and County Tax (sometimes on the contract this is
    included with the DMV, which would make the DMV 212.75 (I am in the SF Bay Area/Alameda County)
    + 20.00 Electronic filing fee
    26416.49 t

    Additionally there is a cost for her service of finding me a slightly above invoice car, btw.

    Is this good in your opinion/s?

    I had asked to remove the doc fee but she said that it wasn't worth it at $55. Also told me the price increased from $45 to $55. Is this true? I cannot find any information regarding doc fees in my area so I'm not sure if there actually was an increase.

    Also, I'm still debating on two colors - I like both the blue and the green equally. What I think might make me decide is to figure out which color is more marketable when I decide to sell and/or trade it years from now. Opinions?

    Thanks. :)
