out the door price of an 06 pacakge 8

Does your '05 have the Nav and BT options, I don't know the '05's feature set.

The '06 #8 (which I own) has all the bells and whistles, nothing left off.

That's about what I paid. MSRP & tax & the extra couple of hundred for the things they tack on. You mention a 2005 Package 6. I don't know my 2005s but didn't they go up to package 9? That's the area where the high-price options pop up. Not sure we have an apple to apple comparison here. The 2006 Package 8 is "fully loaded."

The 2006 does have features the 2005 didn't, and that many members add as after market options, if they can. The leather adds about $1,500 to package 8 vs. package 7 on the 2006. I think THAT is high but it got me the car in half an hour instead of half a year.

Well, MSRP for the car (easy to find at www.toyota.com) is 29195. This includes the leather and dealer prep. I don't know what tt&l comes to at your location , or what else your dealer might be adding (like $1000 undercoating). The leather seats add about $1200 to the MSRP. A #7 in Tucson with no dealer addons was just over $30k out the door two weeks ago. #8 would have been about $31.3K.

 

I don't think that is a good price. You can go the site below and it might give you more info.

Yeah that seems a little steep. I just got my '06 last week (I'm still busting at the seems in love with it, and I expect to be for the forseeable future), everything but leather, plus the 7 yr/75k mile extended warranty all for just slightly over $30k out the door.

Pkg 8 = 29,195. ...also 06's have new headlights, taillights, dash and door panel trim in addition to the upgrades already listed by other posters.

 

I got a great price on both my Prii, but I do know the sales manager pretty well. I paid just about 30K for each car, sales tax, and all fees included. My 05 Pkg 6 is fully loaded with leather added by dealer, my 06 Pkg 7 is fully loaded with leather added at port. The leather was included in my price. The 06 does have a few added bells and whistles, but this did not affect MSRP ( I think)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In June, we paid MSRP for a #7. Then we requested leather seats, so they added another $1160. That brought the total up to what a #8 commands (MSRP). We were quite happy UNTIL I discovered that they used Naugahyde, instead of leather! I just verified this fact tonight. I'm gonna go stomping into my dealer tomorrow!

Good luck,

 

In May, I got a 2006 #6 for $750 below MSRP with the Costco Fleet discount from Hanlees Toyota in Davis, CA.
