My best guess:

Model 1220 is the bottom model, no package, MSRP $22,000.

The next $775 is likely the delivery fee in your area, slightly higher than the rest of the country ($720 or 750, depending on when the sticker was printed).

The $847 is for dealer selected options, which are not equivalent to any package number.

This is NOT a package #4.

Does anyone else read this differently?

As for the center console, my leg doesn't hit it. My husband thinks it's a little odd-looking, but I love how it makes the front seat feel like a cockpit.

Before we switched to Toyotas this spring (my husband bought a Camry for his commute) we both drove gas-guzzling Mercedes-- an '02 E320 for my husband, and an '06 ML350 for me. They handled very nicely, but we grew to hate the feeling of excess. The biggest shock for me, in a mere four days of Prius ownership, is not the fuel economy: it's how much I love to drive this little car! The handling is fantastic, the acceleration (in power mode, when I need it) is unreal, and I've never been more engaged by the driving experience than I am thanks to this car's various energy monitors. I still have the ML in the garage, but I doubt it will make it back out to the streets again before the lease is up in June.

M,
The pillars are the things holding the roof up (next to the windshield, between the doors, and the back window) The headliner is the clothlike liner above your head (the underneath of the roof). If there is a color difference as it looks in your pics, you should see the difference where the pillars meet the upper door panels. Just seems odd that bisque would not have beige, but may be a cost-savings thing.
And as for the console width - sometimes I like to stretch my knee to the right while driving. Looks as if the console may restrict that - another Oh Well.....
So glad you're enjoying tooling around in your new baby. Keep us updated and very jealous!!!

Chilibean, that is NOT a package #4 2009. Fuzzy is right. It is a base model prius with dealer fluff added. That car won't even have cruise control.

Pass.

[ggood]

The port or dealer addons are a ripoff (sealants, etc.), except for the mats, which are maybe $200 MSRP. Someone else will have to comment on the base package.

[Chilibean]

Fabulous! Many, many thanks! You're a life saver Jabber and Fuzzy. I'm pretty far out of my element here. I've never bought a new car before, know nothing about Prius' or Prii as you call them and have little financial room to manuever in. I think I'll just take my chances, wait for a '10 and perhaps see what happens with cash for clunkers.
Again, my sincere thanks!

The pillars and the headliner, now that I know what they are, look pale beige to me. The color definitely transitions, just as you described, but I don't think it's gray. It's so completely neutral that I'm not 100% sure either way. Perhaps close-ups will help:





Sorry, I know the sunlight doesn't make it easy to see.

This looks like a concern to me as well. I like to let my legs stretch to the left and right on long drives. But no way to tell from the pics. i hope it's wide enough. The 2009 was, but it had no real center console.

Hi Dorothy,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, i've been scrambling around here lately.

I appreciate your offer, however, there is not a new prius anywhere that you can buy for that price. Unfortunately, most of the premises you used or the information that you are using is completely incorrect.

The lowest price Prius I have on the lot MSRP is $23622 and I would be happy to sell it to you at the incredibly low price of only $21607 after rebate + TTL. That price is only $200 over invoice.

We continue to sell 09's daily and 2010's are still at least a month out.

If you would like to take advantage of this deal ..please contact me at your earliest convenience.

Yes this is my reading too. The key points are the model # which is NOT a 1224 and the fact that the audio is NOT a JBL system with Bluetooth.
