It's MSRP, which is about as good as you can get.

Thanks. That's what I'm finding out. I don't mind paying the MSRP but I refuse to pay a surcharge.

MSRP is not the best price. If you shop around, getting up to $1000 off sticker is possible. If you want to deal with a particular dealer, see if they will negotiate the extended warranty or even throw it in for free if they don't want to budge on price. I paid less than MSRP for one

2004 package #9 and MSRP for another 2004 package #9 at the height of the Prius shortage so I am speaking from experience. The best way to shop for any car is to ask the dealer what the minimum profit they need to make. Have the dealer pricing in hand and offer that price + the minimum markup. Knowledge is power!!! and can also save you a buck or two.

Bill, you're right. I found that out last night. Only the $1000 came in the form of what they were willing to give me for my trade. When I left the dealer last night, they were only willing to give me $17.5K for my 2003 Maxima. They called this morning and accepted by deal of $18.5. When I pick it up today, I'm gonna make them throw in racing stripes.

Well, I picked it up yesterday. They threw in the stripes. I wanted the red but they only had a black one in stock. Black was my second choice anyway. For the first time in my life, I have to read the manual.
