What do I get with a $200 parts and service voucher from my dealership?

trd sway bar. it will reduce your sway during turns and high winds. or how about a discount towards the ground effects kit. besides looking cool, it will reduce your coefficient of drag and make your car slightly more aerodynamic (slightly increase mpg). the toyota rep at to go even pointed this out.

 

Don't know how much room you have to store things but replaceable cabin filters come to mind.

 

The TRD sway bar for the 08 xB also fits. The dealer might have that for a little less than the Prius Plus bar.

 

noooooooo brake pads. I think they've been known to last around 100k.
This is a good question. cause your covered under toyota care for 2 years. You could probably just end up getting cash for this by buying toyota air and cabin filters and then selling them to members on here?? I have no idea.

Does your dealer do window tinting? Could probably get that done if so. help reduce the cabin heat build up.

 

I got a Cargo Net from the dealer. It was about $50. Great for holding my laptop in place.

They have a few accessories just pick what you like.

Toyota Prius Accessories

My dealer sells after market bike racks, surfboard racks, etc by Thule. Snow chains also.

 

Maybe the trunk mat and a windshield sunshade. My salesman gave us one for being a repeat customer, and it fits the Prius perfectly, it even covers the small triangular windows. The front window is really large and raked at a good angle, so a lot of heat comes in when parked in the sun.

Those two items should get you close to or over the two hundred dollar mark. If not, buy a cabin filter or some wiper refills.

 

I second the recommendation for a custom fit Prius Sunshade. Keeps the vehicle cooler in the sun, and protects the dash and steering wheel from UV sun rays blasting on them.

In the hot summer months, I love my sunshade.

 

I spent the $90 on official Prius all-weather floor mats. Definitely worth it. They are way more durable then the $20 walmart junk and won't slide forward and press your gas pedal for you.

 

Not really, as the factory windshield already has a 100% UV cut rate. It'll cut down on the heat though.

 

Really? I was unaware that The Prius standard windshield offered a 100% UV blocking rate.

The Toyota Prius Brochure defines the windshield as being "UV reduction glass windshield". I'd think if it blocked 100% of UV rays they would say that, instead of just "reduction".

 

I think they are trying to upsell when you wait for your car. They give your free wifi and coffee and cookies. You can purchase snacks cheap. New car display etc

 

They're not referring to just the front windshield but all the windshields (sides and back), even though when we say windshield we mean the front. The reason for that is the factory glass has a 89-100% UV cut rate depending on glass location so legally they have to say "reduction." Don't take my word for it.

Well...I'm not doubting you more than I'd doubt anyone. Side effect of being extremely paranoid. To quote Al Pacino in Scar Face, "Who do I trust? I trust me!".

But thanks, it's good to know. I really wouldn't of thought Toyota would of afforded us that nice a windshield. I guess I can feel a little better those occasional times I'm in a hurry and forget to place my heatshield. At least I can know UV rays aren't pounding down on my dash.

To the OP....I'd still highly recommend a custom fit sunshield. Especially if you are without the Sunroof Ventilation System. Oregon may have an economy of few very, very hot days BUT we do get our share. And I have found that if I use the heatshield and leave my front window cracked, I can return to a relatively approachable interior. If I forget and have been parked in the sun? It's like entering the 7th circle of hell.

32k? I trust you......well sorta.....

 

c'mon theres no better sun shade than the prius heatshield offered here on priuschat. i ordered a few myself. they work great. and they support the forums/site.
