Help Configure My New Prius

I'm interested in the Nav question as wel. Toyota's site won't let you unselect the Nav option when you choose a Prius IV.

 

Depending upon the local market where you live, the Toyota website configuration tool will display what your regional Toyota Dealers have in inventory, and what is available. If you were to enter a zip code from another part of the country (but further than an adjoining state), you may be able to configure the IV without a NAV. In Illinois, where I am from (try using zip code 60606), you can configure the Prius as a IV, without Nav or Sunroof, for a price of $27,350.

That said, it is not possible, with the 2010 Prius, to buy a factory Rear View Camera without the NAV. Among other reasons, without the NAV unit, there would not be a monitor screen to use in the dashboard.

With aftermarket vendors, you are able to get a Rear-View Camera installed, which can be seen through your rear-view mirror. Some Toyota dealers even have information on this available in their dealerships. However, if you are interested in that sort of product, you may get a better price by not having your dealer install it for you.

 

Thanks eglmainz, that explains it.

On another note -- what discounts are people seeing relative to MSRP these days? I just requested an online quote from a local Koons for a Prius IV, and to my amazement it's over $2k below MSRP -- and this apparently includes freight! Is this normal? If the online inventory is to believed, the dealer has over 50 Prius's in stock.

 

I just bought a IV with solar and I paid right around invoice. I'm sure the dealerships are getting some sort of Toyota kick back.
