Re: 2009 Prius Bank Fee / Doc Fee [prc2]

I'd ask them to explain the "bank fee". If this is a purchase then any financing fees you pay the bank would be between you and the bank. If you are getting the Toyota 0% financing, then them charging a fee sorta kills the whole 0% concept. If they simply want to gouge you tell them to do it straight to your face. I hate hidden fees.

Re: 2009 Prius Bank Fee / Doc Fee [prc2]

Written by: boiseboomer on May 19, 2009 10:10 AM

My experience with a dealer in Oregon is the only applicable info I can provide. In Oregon, Dealer Doc fee is set to $50.00 fixed, by law. Bank fee - what the heck is that? There is title and sales tax where I live. Both are well documented, easily calculated, and reasonable. I recently haggled over a 2009 level 6 Touring. Got the deal negotiated to invoice +$509 + $50.00 ... Read More...

I received a quote for a 2009 Package #6 today at slightly over invoice (less than $200), but the quote added on a $650 "bank fee" and a $45 "doc fee." Is this customary with Toyotas? Thanks! Read More...

The above link you posted on is where you Prius owners or wannabe's should be. Besides, this is the Honda forum if you failed to read the forum heading you are on. Edmunds also has a Prius forum as well. What interest would you have in PriusChat? A closet Prius wannabe??? Actually I can read. It's a requirement for Prius wannabe's.

Re: Prius 0% financing & questions [civicbuyer]

As wvgasguy noted that financing offer comes from Toyota Financial Services/Toyota Motor Sales. It gives the buyers the option of a $1000 rebate OR 0% financing for 60 days, but not both AND it applies only to the remaining 2009 models currently in stock...not the 2010 models soon to arrive. If you want one you shop and haggle and decide soon. Whatever models are ... Read More...

2010 Prius - Next Generation

Re: [kdhspyder]

Written by: wvgasguy on May 13, 2009 08:23 AM

Hey Bob, looking for some expert interpretation of Toyota Literature. On PriusChat they are saying the JBL and NAV versions of the 2010 will be satellite radio "ready" with a 90 day trial subscription to XM. I believe they are even quoting "Team Prius". I'm new there so I don't really know the various members yet. There is a lot of knowledge there but there is also ... Read More...

Re: Insight Is Very Cheaply Put Together And Tinny [sr146260211]

Written by: insight4me on May 12, 2009 04:46 AM

I just looked it up, and the Insight is 1.2 inches narrower than the Prius. I was very curious as to why someone would call the car "extremely narrow" as it did not appear to me to be that way. I think you explained it well. Thanks! I have an Insight on order - we compared it to the 2009 Prius as our Toyota dealer had a row of them still sitting on the lot. They were willing ...
