I have three print outs from three different Vees that my sales guy gave me today. It is a printout from the Toyota network where he did a search for the car we are seeking. We were looking for a V5 but I had him do a search for a well optioned V3 and he came up with one in our color choice but it had leather seats! That made the base price of $28,290 go up to $31,292 when all the other dealer added options are included: PC - $395 for Blizzard Pearl, the only paint for which a premium is charged! L1 - Leather heated seats: Dealer cost $1199. Sticker price $1499 DT- 3M window tint: $219 cost. $399 sticker. Pretty outrageous, isn't it? Would that include all doors and windows except for the windshield? SM- Body side molding CF - Premium carpet mats set ($140 cost/$225 sticker) FL - Fog Lights My cost $32,294 drive out. For a V5 with our Blizzard Pearl/Bisque preferred combo: $33,300 sticker includes $2130 in options. DT- Window tint PB - rear bumper protector (about $39.) MF - Mud guards SM- Body side molding (color keyed) S6- Premium Security (I think he said about $400) P2 - Vehicle Shield package: Paint sealant, sealant cleaner, fabric guard (Cost unknown) Drive out on this car is $34,277. We then broadened our search a bit to our back up color: silver metallic with misty gray softex. This one only had $977 in options bringing the sticker to $32147 DT- Tinted windows CN- Cargo net MF - mud guards SM- Body side molding CF- Premium carpet mat set This one has about all the options I care about. We can add the bumper guard easily enough. We would consider a v3 with Softex but he said that is special ordered from the factory while leather is a dealer option added at the port facility in Houston. The last option is to wait a few weeks and get a 2014 exactly the way we want it. He said it probably wouldn't cost more than 'a few hundred' more than a similarly equipped '13. They offered exactly the same as Kelly Blue Book showed for the trade on her 04 Lexus, not as much as I would like, of course. I think I can get a little more off their asking price but I don't know how much. We were really hoping to trade for $20k difference but we're going to be around $4,000 off. Any thoughts or comments?
