:| I got this email from Symes of Pasadena. It was in HTML but so badly formatted that I couldn't parse the features. When you sift through it, you realize that they're offering a package 9 in White plus leather for $31,412 + fees--that's up about $2.5K since last month's already inflated $29K. Symes nonetheless finds customers very quickly for every Prius it offers. I just wonder whether they're following the "rules," whatever they may be, by ONLY offering the Prius with leather and jacking up the price without much added value. It also seems fishy that they have so many Priuses that "felt out of order." My guess is that many of the customers that are on Symes' list just get disgusted when they start to do the paperwork and walk out on the deal because they did not order leather and will be damned if they pay $5K over MSRP. --- [email protected] wrote: Hello Jared , I will like to inform you that a Prius felt out of order and is available for sale at this time.

Jared - I notice that Juan & Mike list both "fabric cloth seats" and "leather pkg." So what is the leather package if not the seats? Cupholders? I agree with you. Adios Juan and take-a-hike Mike. But hang in there. The car is absolutely worth it if you can get it from a straight up dealer or broker. John 04 Silver / 5920 miles / 53.4 mpg
