I dont know if this has been done before, I'm a newbie, but quite simply reply (the idea here is for it not to turn into a price discussion, just a listing of prices paid): Package Price paid Region bought I think it would be nice to have this for those of us who are still negotiating with dealers.

May 29th 2009 2010 Prius V w/Adv. Tech package $33,143 USD plus taxes, license, etc (Out the door $37,052.07 USD) San Diego CA area
MSRP + $750 "Delivery Processing and Handling Fee" for a Prius V from Toyota of Kirkland, WA. Bought it last week - walked in one morning, drove the car home in the evening. No waiting list, deposit or any other complications. Very satisfying experience. Their normal deal seems to be to add a chip protection film over the front of the car for an additional $1295. However I happened to walk in just as they were unloading a delivery truck and bought the car before they had a chance to add the film. The salesman made a very professional attempt to sell me the film but didn't push it when I said I didn't want it. He did imply though that it was only because I bought the car before they fully processed it that I was able to avoid buying the protection film. The other dealer near here (Lake City Toyota) has a "mandatory" $695 VIP package consisting of "Protective Door Cups, Door Edge Guards, Nitrogen Tire Inflation, and 1st Quarter Size Ding Removal". When I was trying to negotiate a deal there I found that although they say this is required to be included in all their Prius 2010 sales if you get up to walk out it becomes a negotiable item. However they didn't have the car I wanted so it was a moot point.
31,194 IV blizzard pearl solar nav, with a couple extras, straight MSRP, with 100 dealer fee. don't know tax and title yet (haven't taken delivery). a different dealer i preferenced at had cargo net, mats, and lug nutz (fine) but also had a 300 appearance protection package (basically a simonize wax job and some scotchguard) that i said i didn't want. He said "all cars sold here have this". Since the car wasn't there, i asked them if they were going to lose a deal over that, and after a mgr conference they deleted it.
Not using Toyota's definition of MSRP. From their web site: "Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price, excludes the Delivery, Processing and Handling Fee of $750 for Cars and $800 for Trucks, "
yep, delivery fee is above and beyond the MSRP and non negotiable. even the priority program people had it. basically the cost of the boat ride over
Edit Add: Bought from CarMax in Kenosha, WI Package IV OTD $28,962.56 Midwest Included also are Carpet floor mats and cargo mat, rear bumper applique, cargo net, and wheel locks. =)
Seems stupid to say "delivery fee" is non-negotiable fee cause don't all cars HAVE to come over on a ship and be delivered??? So shouldn't that be included in the "cost" of the car...which I deem to be MSRP. Or they could, I guess, say they will give you $750 off MSRP but still make you pay the $750 delivery fee. Whatever. It's all the same and still makes the final sale and loan price the same right?!?!hwell: That's like advertising a sale on DVDs for $10!! But you get there and they say, "But I had to fedex yours to get it so I have to charge you the $3 fee". "So the DVD is $13?" "No. The DVD is $10 and shipping is $3." semantics:rant:
No Nav, no SR. I've got a TomTom, and I rarely park outside in direct sunlight for extended periods of time, so thought both were a waste of money. Other than Nav and SR, there aren't really any other "packages", correct?
II Blizz, Included also are Carpet floor mats and cargo mat, rear bumper applique, cargo net, and wheel locks. BTW our SLO county sales tax is 8.25%. Not sure how much the DMV was. Central California coast $25,856.84 out the door. We love our Blizz, radio
Package 3 w/o nav. + applique + floor matts. $200 under MSRP + 3 oil changes and some center caps for the 15" wheels. Plus the dealer found the exact (color options) car I wanted at port and traded with another dealer. And finally to top it off found a buyer for my 08 prius trade and got me $1000 more than trade NADA trade value. All in all I thought my salesman worked pretty hard for me. Bitterroot Motors Missoula, MT G
black v with nav, rear bumper bs, all weather mats for $29,789 ($300 off MSRP). Dealer doc fee $50 (reasonable i guess), license $240 (i think), no sales tax (thanks WA state) = $30,079 out the door. most expensive hatch back ever. couldn't be happier with the car tho.
