New 2008 Prius question?

I had a 2008 Prius and it was totaled in March 19th in car accident.
(I had it all 3 months)
I went to dealer that I bought back in November 2007 on May 2nd. It was in certificate program so you paid $500 over sticker price so you had to go through one dealer for this program in state of Maryland. I asked for same model and color I had previously except adding navigation package. Gave them $500 deposit as they had to order it.
I waited several weeks and then inquired delivery date. I couldn't get straight answer of when it would be delivered.
I finally asked 4 weeks later I initially ordered the prius and the salesman I
had to go through finally tells me every option is going up $2400 and the car I had bought originally in Novemebr 2007 would now be $7000 higher.
I asked for my deposit back and he said I would get it back.
But my question has anyone heard of this new price gouge or was I just being hosed by this Toyota dealer in Catonsville, Md.
Thanks.
