I just spoke with Nagy at Frontier Toyota in Valencia, CA (just north of Los Angeles on I-5). It seems they have two 2004 Prius available right now. One is a White #9, the other a Blue #6. This dealer is charging a premium which Nagy was unwilling to disclose the actual amount of by telephone. He also mentioned that the Blue one is a finance repo with 2600 miles on it, that will still command a premium over MSRP. I passed on both, but if someone is desperate to get a Prius now and doesn't care that they are being taken advantage of, contact Nagy at 661-255-7575.

The premium is between $3000-$4000, depending on the package.

Any dealer that won't tell you what they're charging for the car on the phone is not only wasting your time, but taking advantage of you and anyone else who wants a decent car at a decent price.

You'll find similar markups at Glendale Toyota. (Only about $2K).

I'm glad, Sev, you had the intestinal fortitude to pass and hope that others will do likewise.
