Hybrid cars, don't be afraid to check online

Yes, the Toyota Prius does sell above cost on the Internet, but how many Prius buyers purchase their hybrid cars at MSRP? At cost sales are hard to find on hybrids like the Prius or the Ford Escape hybrid. Dealer fees have become part of the equation, often adding $3000 - $5000 to the price of hybrid vehicles. Make sure to check online for private sales, and dealer sales. Dealers are some of the biggest hybrid sellers on eBay, and in some cases, you can cut a deal.
