    OK, I recently visited the Toyota site and played around with building a Prius (I ordered a package 8 about 5 weeks ago MSRP $29,195). Now, I find NO package 8, just package 7 or option C. AND, the total price for package C is $28,035! Did the new Prius price for top of the line model decrease? If so, what did Toyota do away with? AND, would I get the newer price once my ordered Prius comes in? Any comments?

    Thanks guys. Now, I did check by giving a different zip code and YES, the package 8 is still there. My concern now is, it (#8) used to be available for my zip code here in Ohio, but now this option is gone. Does anyone know if I can STILL get this option 8 from my dealer? I guess I should just call him.

    Vince.

    You can get leather seats as an upgrade aftermarket - I did with my package 5, and paid $995 + tax. The leather seats came from www.katzkin.com - visit their web site to see all the options available and to find installers in your area. DO call around - I got the best deal through my dealer, but another dealer quoted close to $1000 just to install them and an independent auto upholstery shop was about that price, as well. My 'katzkin package' included the center console cover and the armrest covers.

    Thanks. I called up my dealer a few minutes ago and he said that my order is still package 8 and that I should be getting what I ordered sometime this August. He doesn't know why package 8 was omitted from the build and price section for Ohio.

    I'll keep you guys posted.

    Thanks.

    Vince.

    Based upon what you have written, you have a valid contract. You should sue the dealership for specific performance.
