Where's the best/least sleazy place to buy a used Prius in the Phoenix metro area these days?

Looking for a late model Prius, don't want to go through all the sales sleaze - I've checked places like dealerrater and yelp but many of the positive reviews reek of astroturfing. I'm willing to go anywhere in Phoenix/Tempe/Mesa/Chandler.

I don't live in the area, but I am wondering if you could just go to a Toyota dealer that sells new and used cars. Dealers tend to perform useful inspections of previously owned vehicles and sometimes offer limited warranties.

Also, have you tried autotrader?

Best answer: I just contact the fleet people at local dealerships... it's worked out great for every car I've ever bought.

I've bought my last couple of used cars at CarMax, and they have a store in Phoenix. Pretty low stress, no haggling, no pushy sales guys, and the cars have been good.

Response by poster: ph00dz wins! I did talk to the fleet guy, and got my used Prius for well within the Edmunds price range. Thanks everyone!
