[pagemaster]

Hey everyone,

I just got work the Land Cruiser for 2011 will go up in price. About $66,$1/2 starting MSRP

So what extra goodies are they charging for?

About $66,$1/2 starting MSRP

Just wondering what $66,$1/2 is? Are you stating $66,000? If so I have never seen a MSRP on one that was not fully loaded which was around $70K

 

[matt60/80]

That's base price, no options. Most, if not all, have the upgrade pkg. which is where the $7x,xxx comes from.

Hey SWUtah, $66,$1/2 means I don't know the exact price. It is somewhere in the middle, $66,599 or close to that

Got it. Have you ever seen one without the $7K option package????

When I was shopping a couple months ago I came across a few of them. I would say that 1 out of 4 or 4 don't have it, at least based upon my shopping observations.

In fact, just did a quick search on autotrader and of the 5 listed, only one obviously doesn't have it (not sure about 2 of them because there is not price listed). In fact, the one that doesn't have it has been for sale since I was shopping back in September and October of last year.

Because the option package is way more than just nav, it's really not even an "option" in my opinion.

• Navigation System
• rear-seat DVD entertainment system with 9-inch display and two wireless headphones
• color-keyed rear spoiler
• rain-sensing variable intermittent windshield wipers
• center-console cooler box
• headlamp washers
• leather-wrapped steering wheel with wood-grain-style trim inserts
• integrated audio, Multi-function Display, voice-activated navigation and Bluetooth controls
• leather-wrapped shift lever with wood-grain-style insert
• driver and front passenger active seatbelt pretensioning system
• second-row multi-stage seat heaters

The rain-sensing wipers were not available for 2008 models.

The pretensioning system IMHO is a necessity on today's vehicles and I think this alone would justify the added cost. Safety first, right?
