I've been reading this board for the last month or so as I prepare to buy. But I have a few questions and hopefully some of you can help 
packages? what's the deal? Toyota has all six on their site but I'm being told that only packaged 1, 3, and 6 are available for 2005 models. Is this true? Is it a southern california regional problem? or is this information simply erroneous?
I'm indifferent as to the NAV, but really I want the VSC (so package 4) but if only package 6 is available with it, then it becomes an issue of paying the 4K+ difference between #3 and #6...
The other question is price. I know what the list, MSRP and wholesale prices are on these cars for both the base model and the packages. I had what I thought was a hookup via a friend who works for Toyota corporate, but the fleet manager they set me up w/ quoted me full price, 29k out the door (tax incl.) for a #6, and said all he could do was jump me to the "front of the line"...now given that Fremont S.F. toyota is constantly saying on this site that they have 20+ coming or on site, is there still a waiting list, or is this guy just full of it?
I'm talking to my credit union advisor tomorrow to see what deal they can get, is it unreasonable to think I can pay $24K in cash for a #6 (roughly 27 w/ tax)???
thanks for your help,
