What are the differences of these two packages?

Not sure if the packages changed for 2011, but for 2010 the advanced tech package included the nav package.

I'm confused by your question, which seems self-answering. Is the dealer trying to charge you for both?

 

If it is the same as 2010 you would order one or the other, both on the same car would not be possible. The ATP has everything the Nav Package has plus The DRCC, LKA, PCS, and IPA. So a Prius V could have no package, Nav package or Adv Tech Package only those three choices exist for the Prius V.

If you go to the Toyota web site you can select options and it will give you the MSRP.

 

Help us out here--your comments highlighted in red above are confusing--so is the dealer trying to charge you for both options?

 

No wonder you thought you were getting a great price
You prob had the dealer salivating wildly, too!!

 

You asked the wrong question, as the Adv. Tech package already includes NAV and your dealer is confused. AY is Advanced Technology package (which already includes NAV) with USB & Safety Connect.

 

Honestly I would get a III with Leather and Nav. You can upgrade wheel and suspension yourself.

 

Sure you can do all that but at the end of the day, you still have a III with a pretty pink bow on it. Also It's impossible to add radar cruise, pre collision system, lane keep assist and intelligent parking and too costly to swap halogen headlights with LED headlights. There's no need to upgrade the suspension b/c all priuses have to the same suspension.

To the OP, there are 3 Prius Fives you can buy. 1) no package, 2) Navigation Package 3) Advance Technology Package. The ATP also includes the Nav pack. If the dealer is charging you for both packages, you're getting ripped of because it's either one or the other but not both.

 

The tables at the bottom of Toyota Vehicles : Toyota Announces Prices for 2010 Prius / Toyota might be a bit easier to understand. However, the prices are all old and have all gone up.

 

Falcon, a dealer 87.7 miles away from Roxboro has a AAA price of $31249 for a 2011 5AT. You can't order a car. You can tell the dealer what you want but they have to find it in their allocation or do a dealer trade.

 

I agree with all, except the last statement. I am not convinced that all Prius have the same suspension....

 

Hey, I live in Pinehurst. They do have Prius on the ground, so maybe you'll get some competitive pricing.

 

Not quite, steering ratio is very important and the Prius V has a faster steering ratio, almost a full turn less lock to lock than the other versions. I have driven both and there is a very noticeable difference.

If your an old sports car guy as I am or enjoy spirited driving the faster ratio is very desirable. I have no evidence to support this belief but I also think it's safer in an avoidance situation. You probably can not add faster steering, or if you could it would be far to expensive.

If you are going to spend money for good quality after market 17" wheels and tires anyway the cost of a a Prius V isn't that much more. If you want the extra safety of DRCC and PCS then you have no choice anyway.

 

Agreed.

Plus, when you sell the car, you get almost no (if any) credit for the aftermarket stuff, particularly if you trade it in. Dealers just look up values in Manheim, KBB, etc., and those only include the factory models and options.
