Unwanted Options in New Cars
If there were extra cars on dealer lots like when we bought our 1998 Camry and in 2002 when we got our classic Prius, you just tell the dealer to take the unwanted options off; because your aren't going to pay for them. We got several options free on both cars, because they wanted to move the cars.
Unfortunately, the Prius is in high demand; and if you really want one bad enough, you may have to pay for stuff you don't want or need.
When the classic Prius' first came out, they were in short supply; and the buying situation was the same as now. In a year or two, supply caught up with demand; and we were able to bargain with the salesman to get a better deal.
In 2002, we had our pick of eight Prius' and paid $750 below sticker. Also, we told them to remove a CD player if they wanted to; because we didn't want it and weren't going to pay it. They left it in at no cost, and they threw in the factory floor mats, too.
There was also an extra $600 charge for "dealer servicing" and "paint protection", and we told them that this was fluff and we weren't going to pay these charges. They took these off, too.
So, if you want to save money; wait. Or, pay the price and enjoy it now. I guess that is a decision each individual has to make for themself.
