Use the dealer websites to request a quote. Often times you will find that the internet manager will give you a better quote online than they will in person. Then, armed with that you can go and pit the dealers against one another. Haggle for addons/extras thrown in for free... Haggle on trade-in price (that's how I got mine so cheap. The invoice was for 24K and some change, but I got 3500 more for my trade in than KBB had it listed at even in perfect condition...). Also, don't discount shopping in a different state. You really do need to do your homework, but they can be found.
There are numerous threads about prius pricing/haggling on http://priuschat.com. It's really a required reference if you are thinking about buying or you own a prius. Lots of very talented engineering types on there. -- Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Paul Ihrig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 03, 2008 9:33 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: My Prius - 3 tankful's later Jeff. how can i get package 2 for 21000?
