Buying a Prius

Just moved back to the US, and am in need of a cheap car for mostly city driving for my wife.

The opportunist in me is thinking 2010 Prius, which coincidentally she likes very much. I don't want to own this, so a 3 year lease is perfect.

Lets avoid the wife jokes and Prius hysteria. There are plenty of other threads for stoking those fires.

How much under MSRP do you realistically think I can grab a car for?

Calling around it seems like any dealer will commit to 7-8% under sticker on the phone. I'm hoping for 15%-20% under sticker (about 8%-12% under invoice)

I'm in the Northeast, where there is a Prius and a Subaru wagon on every corner. The Toyota dealers have 20+ cars on the lot and I'm not picky about color, options etc.

This becomes a pretty disposable car at 140-150 bucks a month in lease payments.

Thoughts?
