Tips from Toyota Prius Buyers

Wolfchase Toyota
Memphis, TN
I called about the Prius with no intention of buying and the sales lady Antoinette immediately told me there was 3 day $2500 off. So I went on a Saturday and was shown the car and drove with Wesley who was also amazingly polite and helpful. Called back on a Sun. and Antoinette emailed the the OTD price which I had asked for. It was exactly as she had quoted. Drove another Prius finally decide on color. Antoinette was extremely helpful and friendly and NO HIGH Pressure from anyone. This has got to be the best buying experience I have experienced from a Memphis car dealer.

Pros: Told me about a $2500 off immediately no negotating. Helpful employees no high pressure. Everyone needs to be more like Antoinette and Wesley. Polite and helpful no high pressure.

Cons: Haven't had to take car in for anything yet, so I don't have any bad points yet.

I-5 Toyota
Chehalis, WA
It was better than most; not much haggling. Craig was a great sales person.

Pros: Lower tax base, personal attention, no pressure.

Cons: There was an add running in the paper that day for $500 extra off on trade-in and we were not informed. No flexing on price of car.

Darcars Toyota of Silver Spring
Silver Spring, MD
Experience was good. Once I decided on the car I wanted, I sent emails to 5 dealerships and asked for their best price, includeing everything but tax and tags. One dealer made offer considerably below all the others.

Pros: Gave me a great price.

Cons: Can't give any at this time.

Purchased 2011 Toyota Prius 5dr HB II on Mar 2, 2011

Doxon Toyota
Auburn, WA
I researched prices from all dealerships up and down a 200 mile span north and south on I-5 from Bellingham to just south of Portland. After negotiating pricing with all, I took a chance on sending Doxon my best offer as they were the closest dealer to our home and they beat it. There was no haggling over price. Everything went smoothly. They were great to work with. To be fair, most of the dealerships in the area were very helpful and honest.

Pros: No hassle. I simply presented them with my best offer from another dealer over email and they beat it.

Cons: I wouldn't say it's too much of a con but the dealership is currently under construction so parking was a little scarce.

Purchased 2009 Toyota Prius Liftback on Feb 16, 2009

Toyota North Hollywood
North Hollywood, CA
Decent. They marked up the extended warranty and the prepaid service A LOT -- like thousands of dollars. So I didn't get those items from that dealer.

Pros: They had the car, and they showed me all the features very well.

Cons: They tried some cheesy trick when I was hemming and hawing about the price. As I turned to my wife to discuss one last time, I noticed the salesman IMing something. Seconds later, his "associate" stopped by the desk saying "Hey Armen, I've got a guy on the phone that really wants that last Prius. Is it still available?" Then he turned to me and said, "I don't know... is it?" Very lame technique, poorly executed. They also gave me a hard time about putting some of the charge on my credit card -- an argument I eventually won.

Purchased 2008 Toyota Prius Base on Sep 15, 2008

Toyota Carlsbad
Carlsbad, CA
Dealership was up front about not negotiating on this car. They didn't add anything above the MSRP for the car and provided dealer-installed options at dealer invoice price (hence the disparity in final transaction price). The car arrived ~4 weeks earlier than predicted.

Pros: Open, honest, fair, friendly.

Cons: None.

Purchased 2008 Toyota Prius Touring on Jul 15, 2008

Pros: Nice new showroom and building. Dealer was very friendly and didn't try to push any add-ons.

Cons: I paid cash for the car and he still wouldn't give me any freebees.

Toyota of Plano
Plano, TX
Have always had a problem with shady negotiating tactics here. Stick to your guns and demand that they make good on the deals they offer. Pull the old "I didn't have the authority to make the offer," or "That wasn't really an offer, it was just an effort to see if you would make a deal tonight."

Pros: Good selection

Cons: Shady "managers"

Very satisfied. They responded to my bid request that I sent to 10 dealers and they answered my questions timely and stuck to their price they quoted when I showed up for a test drive.

Pros: Low key approach of the saleswoman and the honesty in negotiations.

Cons: I requested a quote for body damage on the lease car I was getting ready to turn back in and the quote was really high for the damage I had.
