When we bought our TCH, we were told that because our car came with the options we wanted, which was Leather, Moon Roof, Navigation System, that Toyota factory automatically adds the $595 Remote Start option. We live in the San Francisco Bay Area and I didn’t want this option because it doesn’t get that cold or warm here to make this option worth $595. I don’t know if the dealer was giving us BS or not, but if I wanted the car I had to go for it, otherwise it would have gone to the next person right behind us. We feel lucky that we were able to get the color we wanted with the features we wanted, with the exception of the Remote Start, and not have to wait for months to get it. We had talked to 2 other Toyota dealers in our area and they had waiting lists that were 4+ months, so when we saw this deal, we jumped on it. We love our TCH and feel that the $595 extra we had to pay was OK because we got our car NOW. I still don’t like being “taken” if the Remote Start option is not a required option, but I don’t know if it is or not. Does anyone know if it is a required option if you get leather, moon roof & the navigation system? Just wondering…
