    I put a $500 deposit on a new 2008 Toyota Prius pkg. 1 in Magnetic Gray at a dealer in St. Louis, MO. I decided not to go for it, but my deposit is not refundable. The car is due at the end of this month or beginning of July. They will be selling at MSRP which I was told is $23,814. It includes floor and cargo mats.

    If you would like to take my spot, please PM me and I will send you the contact info to take my spot at the dealer.

    Do the dealerships actually call it a deposit or do they call it something else like a prepayment?

    Well, they called it a deposit on the car. But, I never signed the receipt since they never faxed it to me to sign. This was all done over the phone. I told the dealer that they could easily find somebody to take my spot.

    Well, I talked to the sales manager and he was really nice. He was able to refund my deposit with no problems. But, If anybody is interested in a new 2008 Prius pkg. 1 in Magnetic Gray at MSRP contact Alton Toyota. They are in Alton, IL 1.800.733.1863 and ask for the sales manager.
