Port Question

If you see a driftwood '06 heading toward apopka in the afternoon that's probably my 5 day old prius!

I hit all the local dealers before making my purchase and they all indicated that some options were installed in the port (jacksonville). I was not surprized to have toyoguard included in that (it's a waste of money tell the dealer you don't want it and until it hits Jacksonville it can be deleted, all three dealers I negotiated with were willing to do that.) Toyoguard is something that all Southeast toyota dealers tend to have on the car except the upper end (option level 7 etc) where they probably figure they can hit the big spender with even more profitable dealer installed version. Apparently lots of options are added there (auto dimming rearview mirrors among others) and if there was a problem with quality of the work I'm sure the dealers would quickly insist on doing the work themselves.

SE Port installed leather is a quality installation, but it doesn't include the important leather (or vinyl) side and center arm rests and the triangle shaped upholstery strip between the rear seat back and the door jam (dealer can add these trim pieces).
CAUTION - if you're ordering a package 8, you're getting ripped off because factory leather package 8 costs less than SE Port leather on a package 7, and the port leather doesn't have the leather trim pieces mentioned above and the leather wrapped steering wheel.
