I believe he did mention full MSRP a couple of posts upCan you say whether you are paying MSRP? Some dealers have tacked on as much as $10,000 to the price, so we'd like to let people know about dealerships that aren't doing this.
D'oh. See it now.I believe he did mention full MSRP a couple of posts up
Sorry- beat me to it.
This is as close to a list as I can find:Can you say whether you are paying MSRP? Some dealers have tacked on as much as $10,000 to the price, so we'd like to let people know about dealerships that aren't doing this.
That seems like a pretty great deal after the rebate. Almost as cheap as the gas ones and a lot cheaper to run.I had a deposit for one since the spring with a dealer in Gatineau, Quebec
they called me today that they have an XSE, which I am not willing to get.
they put me back on the waiting list for SE.
I have also another order with another local dealer.
Apparently the big chunk of the primes are being shipped to QC. The dealer even asked me if I was from Ontario as they are not allowed to sell outside QC.
the final price of the SE after taxes and fees minus 13k rebate is 41k CAD, which is about 31500 US
It is supposed to come with an 18.1kWh pack, which will easily allow for the full $7500 tax credit from the Federal Government.Waltzed into my local So Cal Dealer....don’t even have a list fir vehicle. Says he’ll call when he gets the lowdown. Says anywhere from 2 months to 6 months away....he wasn’t very helpful. Anyone else heard anything about release?
Any chance of Federal Tax credits similar to Prius Prime?
Congrats on the car and not paying over MSRP. Great to hear about your towing mileage result.We purchased one last week and had to go two states away because they will not sell them in TN. We paid MSRP and it was a quick painless transaction to trade in our 2015 Volt for the Prime. The Prime is rated to tow as it towed our camper back home at 30 mpg. A good 10 mpg better than the Vote.
Excellent deal and congratulations on receiving that very attractive looking Rav4Prime. Look forward to some follow up reports as wellWe got ours a couple weeks ago in Long Island NY. In the exact color I wanted. Which I can’t believe. My wife wanted an all white one. She loves the black and white contrast.
We traded in our fully paid off 2019 XSE Hybrid (No packages) towards the 2021 Prime SE with the weather package and after taxes and and rebates, only paid about 3K. Couldn’t pass that up. She will mostly never use gas (except to run gas engine and keep it healthy once and awhile)
Just received my XSE in November after 10 months on list. Most of sales at my dealer are SE, due to lower cost. I opted for premium pkg, wanted head up display, 240 volt charging option, etc. $7500 fed and $1000 state tax perks defray 49k price. $41,5000 was close to what dealers wanted to charge me , way over sticker, for 2020 LTD hybrid. In my case, a Much better deal to pay only msrp for 302 hp, a model year newer, and ability to drive solo in carpool lane. It has a couple of cons I've read about, but I'm loving the pros so far and glad I finally have it. I will definitely road trip it, would love to visit Quebec. My grandpa was born there. Any orders now would be for next batch, but they might still do msrp. Longo Toyota, El Monte California.Ok, just got some more info for
those in Canada. It came from a director of sales at one of the stealers hops where I have an order, so not sure how accurate it is.
he said that “Quebec paid Toyota to reserve all the production for Canada for Quebec dealers”. While I doubt they “paid Toyota”, I think they have some agreements in place (which aligns with the statement from the other dealership that they can’t place an order unless I reside in Quebec).
I know QC has some contracts for fuel cell with Toyota (they are piloting them in Quebec City).
So it appears that folks outside QC will have to wait until next fall to get one.
He also said that I was now number 7 in line (I had paid a deposit back in March just prior to Covid closings). The guy told they are rank 1 dealer which get the biggest deliveries. I will update my timeline if/when I get a call.
One thing I don’t believe is when he said that most of the orders are for XSE, so they are delivering more XSEs. I don’t believe many people are willing to shed extra $8000 (when you add the sales tax) just to get 1” extra on the wheels and a sunroof.
I bet $$$$ that they had to reduce the price
of SE in order to qualify for the rebate, so they don’t want to sell many of them as they don’t make as much profit!
if the SE US price is 38k, this would be 38*1.3=51k CAD (vs 45k msrp). Whereas the XSE base model would be 41*1.3=55k, which is way closer to the ~52CAD price.
Thanks for sharing. If you do some road tripping, it'd be great to see how it does.

Long story short, removed my order request. Can only get the interior in black and the engine noise seemed to hard/strained.
