I'm in negotiations to buy a Prius for my fiancee, and would like to know how I'm doing. This is for a 2013 Prius Persona Series.

MSRP $28,549.00
Selling Price $27,000.00
Sales Tax @ 9% (EBR) $2,430.00
Title Fees $44.50
License Fee $54.00

No dealer fees of any kind. What says the MB?

ETA: Financing at 0% for 5 years as well.

They were selling Prius and Prius V models in my area for $2500 off MSRP when we were car shopping in April.

I'm sure you can do better than what you have posted.

Not sure about the persona series exactly but USAA buying service is saying for a 27500 msrp Prius the target price is 24500. I think you can do better.

Only $1,549 off of MSRP? I'm thinking you can do better elsewhere. You can get it cheaper elsewhere with a higher interest rate. Pay it off in 2.5 years and save a ton of interest. This way, your true APR is much lower than whatever the dealer gives you.
Also consider the higher cost of a Prius. I hear that they're more expensive to take care of over time. Unless your fiancee drives 700 or more miles a week, I don't think the higher gas mileage would be worth the higher cost. Get her a Civic or Accord for thousands cheaper and you'll still have a very nice and dependable vehicle for her.



FTR: I never purchase a vehicle with a note that I can't double each month. That's my personal rule of thumb when buying a vehicle. ALWAYS PAY OFF EARLY.
