    I have a 2006 Prius which has worked out very well for me. I typically average between 47-50 in town with even better mileage on the open road. I have a leased Volvo which will come due the beginning of this March. I am considering getting another Prius, this one for my wife. She would really like leather seats. We don't need the other accessories like the fancy radio and the NAV system. Am I correct in assuming that the only way to get leather seats is through the package. In other words, all or nothing at all?

    Also, I am located in Florida and when I purchased my existing Prius, I had all sorts of trouble getting through my local dealer. He wanted to tack on an automatic $5,000 to the list price and actually had me test drive another already sold Prius. Needless to say, I didn't get the car there. I went a little distance from my house and purchased it at list without the $5,000 premium. How have things changed in the last couple of years? Can I get the car at below sticker? What should I pay for package 6?

    Thanks for the help - Rick

    Can't tell ya. I got a package #2 Prius (with the leather seats) a couple weeks ago and, with taxes, it was $27K. I too live in Florida.

    It did have a couple of add-ons that I wouldn't have necessarily chosen, but that was only an extra $700.

    they had one on the lot -- this one. It was "take it or leave it." I took it. With my trade in, I financed $15K. I'm getting 50 mpg. Seems worth it!

    You were able to get leather seats with a package 2? I thought that you could only get these with a package 6. What am I missing here?

    Some dealers in Florida have a leather option for about $1400 that they install at the dealership. Daytona Toyota offers it and it can be on any package number.

    I can't tell you. My invoice window sticker says it's a package #2 and I don't have all the things that come in a package #6 (according to the website) but I definitely have leather seats! I guess it was a dealer thing.

    It pretty much sealed the deal with me. Anyway, my invoice total was like $25,000 and taxes and such bumped it up to $27,000
