Default Buying a Prius in San Diego - any tips?

I am 95% positive I'm going to buy a Prius in the next few months.

I currently have a 2000 Camry, and don't really feel that the new Camry Hybrid is all that much better than the Prius. Plus, the increased tax credit for the Prius makes it a nice bonus too.

I've read in a few other posts that the Costco program has been able to get people good deals on their Prius, but I was wondering if anyone has experience in San Diego (or Southern California in general). I keep hearing that since demand is "so high" for the Prius, that many dealerships feel it's a take it or leave it situtation for buyers. Others have said that eBay is a pretty good option too. Any thoughts?

I used to drive 100 miles a day in my Camry at 24 MPG, but now, my commute to work is all of 3 miles (almost all on city roads). So I'm really looking forward to the new drive (hopefully almost all on electric) to work.
