#36 of 98 Upgade to Navigation System?? by m4eth Feb 09, 2004 (3:29 pm)
I wonder if a Prius without the Navigation/blue tooth package installed could be upgraded later...just like the 2d versus 3d package maybe upgradable??? Package 7 to package 9???   Mike Replies to this message: rfruth (Oct 25, 2004 5:35 pm) midnightcowboy (Oct 25, 2004 6:25 pm)

Come on, it really isn't that hard. I'm driving a '03 Lexus GS300 Sport Design loaner while my RX330 is being built and it has the same navigation system. I figured out all of the things you are questioning in my first few drives without ever opening the manual or cd.   Look through the MENU section and you'll find what you need.

The Toyota site says that you can't get the Leather Faced Seating option with Package #9. What gives?
#40 of 98 Car mats - standard or optional by ramesh_meera Mar 22, 2004 (6:58 pm)
Ok, our long wait is finally approaching its end (or, so we hope!) after more than 4 months.   Now, the dealer and Toyota are informing us that the cars come with floor and cargo mats as default options, to be installed at the port-of-entry (Long Beach, CA). Of course, we'd been insisting that we did not want floor & cargo mats. The Prius web site indicates that mats are extra accessories (approximately $180). Both, the dealer and Toyota don't know if we will be charged extra though.   Have others had the same experience too? Replies to this message: backy (Apr 12, 2004 7:13 pm)
#41 of 98 Dealer in san Jose, CA by snnguyen Mar 25, 2004 (12:14 pm)
Hi ramesh_meera:   Can you tell me which dealer that you can order package # 1 in san Jose.

Unfortunately I also had to take the car and cargo mats for $180. I didn't have a choice to refuse them. I told them that I didn't want them and since they don't have any Prius on the lot to put the mats into, I had to take them. With the demand so strong for this car, I'm afraid at most dealerships, it is take it or leave it.

Replying to: ramesh_meera (Mar 22, 2004 6:58 pm) I've never seen a Prius w/o the mats. You may not want the mats now, but I think you'll appreciate them when you get them. The carpets on the Prius are pretty light colored, especially in ivory. Won't take much to get them dirty, tar-spotted etc. You're spending over $20k on your new Prius, what's $184 on some mats that look nice, fit perfectly, are easy to clean (compared to the carpet), and protect the carpeting too?   If you are persistent, you might get the dealer to "throw them in." But on a car as popular as the Prius, I kind of doubt it.

Replying to: priusorcivic (Dec 06, 2003 11:55 pm) Recently, I learned that my Prius with Package #7, on order since November, will not arrive in the foreseeable future. The story is that a real Order was never really placed for My Car with the factory. Ordering in Toyota-speak means securing a place in line to select whatever the local sales region is shipping. Since I ordered my Prius from a dealer in the New York sales region which has been delivering only Models #6 & 9 for months with no change in sight, that is my choice. Yes, inter regional swaps are possible, but unlikely in today's market.   I suggest that until Toyota institutes a real order system, anyone with a preference for a specific model should place orders in more that one sales region to increase the likelihood that the model you wish will be shipping when you get to the top of the list.   PS I almost ordered my car from a dealer in the Boston sales region. They are now delivering Models 6, 7 & 9 to customers who placed orders in November.

It is terrible that your Toyota salesperson didn't explain to you up front how the ordering process works, i.e. that individual orders are not placed with the factory. He/she also should have told you that package 7s aren't being sent to your region, so you could have switched packages or cancelled your order. When I ordered my package 3 in November, the salesperson was very clear about how the ordering process works, and has kept me updated regarding changes in package allocations. If I were you, I would complain to the sales manager about the salesperson, and to Toyota about the dealer.
