I need some help. Can anyone tell me where to find some description of the dealer installed packages. A dealer offered me a Prius with package 9 (BC) but also had a Z1 package which I think includes floor mats and a first aid kit but I don't know what else. The dealer is asking $27000 but that seems to be quite a markup for the Z1 package. I thought maybe there would be a file somewhere with a description but I haven't found one yet. Mark
Go to Kelley Blue Book (kbb.com). It will give you MSRP and dealer costs. Base car ($20510); BC Package ($5245); Z1 ($262) Floor mats, cargo mat, 1st aid kit). These are MSRP and total $26017 so it sounds like a little markup going on??
That helps to give me some perspective. The quote was 27017 to be exact - so either a math error or a markup of $1000. Any bets for the former? Mark

Hi: $27,000 is a bit high, you're right. MSRP for a Prius with Option 9 is $25,755 (includes $515 delivery charge; may vary for your locale). Given that most dealers are marking cars up like crazy, $27,000 isn't hugely out of line. I'm about to pay about $1000 over MSRP, and I have to buy the extended warranty on top of that before the dealer will sell me the car. Good luck. Bob
Yup! It was $1000 over MSRP - $27017 for a Silver BC in Escanaba, Michigan. I'm not willing to pay that - but I realize that others are. The number is 906 786-5531 arriving any day now. Mark
It is unfortunate that others are paying over MSRP. It just encourages the dealer to keep doing it, and raising the markup until they got no bites. If no one did it, the dealers would be 'stuck' making only a reasonable profit.
