I’ve looked into acquiring a new model Tacoma, and a new Prius. More serious about the Prius. I also really like the new Land Cruiser.
Here is some numbers from my conversations with dealers in my area.
Bellevue, WA Toyota $2k down 6-8 month wait for Prius. MSRP + $3,600
Lake City, (Seattle) WA Toyota $3k down. As little as 1-3 month wait for Prius. MSRP + $5k in paint protection…
Would love to know if anyone has an MSRP dealer they’d like to shout out.
Go join the FB group called “NO MARKUP TOYOTA”.
There’s one nearby me that was going nuts about 7 months ago and now they’re at like maybe $1-2k over depending on what you want. Other dealerships are at MSRP, but some do the BS “dealer added options” thing.
I think the high interest rates are deterring a lot of buyers and at the same time used car prices have dropped substantially so people may be considering those a little more.
