OK. Walking in the local mall I see a GIII Prius as top prize in a "lottery" by some charitable organization. Sign over car "Supplied by Mayfield Toyota - value $40,276". So I check online with Toyota Canada and find the "fully loaded" price for the GIII Prius in Canada is $37,395 (technology package). Have they still not learned? Are they still slimeballs? There is too much money here. People will pay whatever they ask!
Re: Canadian Perspective re value perhaps that includes GST and maybe delivery?..I'm happy with the base model!!!
Re: Canadian Perspective re value $40,000 inc. taxes and freight, dealer prep, etc. Hey, you don't even pay PST!
Re: Canadian Perspective re value Maybe they added body kit and 3M crystalline premium tint like the Prius Aemulus?
Re: Canadian Perspective re value Price with GST would be $39,264.75. $1011.25 for delivery and dealer prep?!!! Sorry, I can't post what I'm thinking! Oh, and the car was stock without any "dressing".
Sounds about right for a vehicle after taxes and fees. It's more like $1,400 for Freight/PDI David. Also, different dealers will charge different EBH prices. If you're not careful, the dealer will show you the "Alberta" standardized price on "Build & Price" which is about $100 more than if you were to enter a specific dealer and price your Toyota. I caught my dealer doing that and got them to reverse the charges. Just for fun, I priced out one for Ontario... it's $43,800!!!
Well it's $2 per ticket so I'll probably buy one. Otherwise, at those prices it will be a long time before I'll be buying the car! You could buy -two- Kia Souls for that! The 2010 was supposed to be less expensive than the GII, but that was all smoke and mirrors!
That's the technology package, though. A base model will be considerably less than that ($9k plus taxes). Oh and a 2010 isn't less expensive than the 2009. It is if you look at the price right at launch ($27,500 for the 2010 vs. $27,710 for the 2009) but the price for the '09 was bumped from $27,400 at the beginning of '09. don't forget the under coat!
