Big option price increase today

[buzzard767]

There is a clause in my IV Solar order that says I am responsible for any mid year price increases, and today it happened. The solar package just went from $3800 to $4280.

Yes, and you will be one of the first to get the Factory Installed USB port added, and Safety Connect. They are standard in Iv and V model Prius from this point onwards (those built now an onwards, not the remaining stock without them).

The rest of us can add the USB port if we have the NAV system, for around $220 if I recall correctly.

The Nav package alone just went to $2480. Wasn't it $1800? I forget.

Ouch, where do we find a list of the new prices? The Toyota website is still showing the old prices, including $1800 for NAV (at least in my area).

Yes, the NAV package was $1800 for me (on a Prius V), and I think that was the cost for all NAV packages.

As for the increase of 680, I am a little surprised, but I know that somewhere on here I read that the Safety Connect should add about 380 and another 200 or so for the USB, so maybe those early prices were not yet finalized, and this is the way that they are now?

I am not sure if $1800 was the correct old number (65 year old memory bank). The new prices are on Edmund's and USAA car buyers program - probably up on KBB by now as well.

$1800 is the correct old number. Just looked up and the Advanced Tech package is now $5,180, up from $4,500.

KBB is showing the old numbers and $1800 is correct. My memory ain't so bad after all. lol

Add.. When looking at Edmund's site, I see that NAV is $2,480 now, but the only thing that is different is the addition of Safety Connect...

"one year trial subscription to Safety Connect with automatic collision notification, stolen vehicle location, emergency assistance button (SOS) and roadside assistance."

And yet, there is no mention of the USB? What gives?? Based on this alone, it would seem that the NAV pricing has gone up over $600 just to add "Safety Connect"? That seems a bit steep.
