I just ordered a new Prius with Pkg# 4 today. I went to the dealer closest to my house for a test drive and received what turned out to be the highest price ($1490 more than I eventually settled for) by far there. I then used the Edmunds website to solicit bids from three more dealers. They were all at MSRP Plus $300-$400 "dealer handling charge". I got the best price ($114 less than MSRP and no handling charge) through the Costco program. I found this the best way to go not only because of price but there's none of the usual car buying BS. We received the price right over the phone. There's a 2 1/2 month wait to get the car. To get the full federal credit ($3150 but check with your tax adviser) you'll want to take delivery at least by the end of June because the full credit is only good until 60,000 are sold in the US and that should (from what I've read) be about then. The credit decreases after that. More information at http://go.ucsusa.org/hybridcenter/incentives.cfm The Consumer Reports pricing for a 2006 Prius with Pkg#1 is: MSRP=$22955 Dealer Cost=$20960

God luck
