Some sample questions: Do you fly jets? A) oh yeah!  nopeAre you a Stunt Driver? A) Oh Yeah! NopeAre you a Race Car Driver? A) Oh yeah! NopeAre you just a better driver then everyone else? A) oh yeah! NopeIf you answered "A" to any question, then the Touring Model is for you!  |

New question...for the 2008 touring model with package #2 or #3 (haven't yet decided) is there an area on this forum to find out, in my geographic area, what the average price paid has been? Jeff |

My Car: Other Non-Hybrid Package: N/A Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | Re: Touring Model At the top level of the site, if you scan down the page a bit (Past Fred's House of Pancakes) you'll find a forum for comparing prices. Also, you might want to log onto Toyota.com and "build your car" there. It will give you an idea of what options/colors/trimlines are available in your area. For example, in the SF Bay Area, you can only get the touring trimline with package #6. If you want a Spectra Mica Blue Prius, you have to get it in the touring package (again, package #6). This is not true for other parts of the country. So, check it out! |

I recommend you go to Edmonds.com and price out the car and options you are looking for. They will give you the TMV pricing for your car in your zip code area that others have been paying for the same car/options. |
