Hmm...me thinks they are fibbing on ya....they are still offering the $1,000 off 2008 Camrys out here.
 
I have a 2009 Camry Hybrid - no issues. It's a fantastic car. As for battery staying charged, I've never heard or seen that. Everyone I personnally know with a Camry Hybrid (about 1/2 dozen) say it works just fine.
 
It they want you to pay list for a Prius (insane), you can get a Camry Hybrid for the same amount; they are running $2-3K off MSRP for 2009; if you can find a 2008, you can get another $1,000 back.
 
And yes, the feeling of getting nearly twice the mpg I was previous getting, in the same size care, is wonderful.

Not sure of your location but for Seattle area, camry hybrids are going for invoice (08 or 09) with 08 having 0% for 3 years, which equals about 2.5K in interest over 3 years, which is valid till 3/31. You can probably go to any dealer's website and see current new car promotions, the rebate should show up there.
 
I did reconnect again with the same dealer in Seattle, the one who got a car in for me that had REPAIRED in the invoice. It turns out the bumper was repaired by Toyota but I had him bring in another car for me from about 5 hrs away. It will have about 300 miles due to the distance he's getting it from but atleast I don't have to drive, his driver is getting the car in, would be $125 below dealer invoice. Their dealer invoice includes holdback, tda and WFS, tried to negotiate with about 25 dealers, this is the best I got in Seattle area. Positive thing is that I will get an additional $400 off from the toyota grad program, so will be $525 below invoice in all.

Just agreeing with the other replies.
 
Last night in Massachusetts at least there was a Toyota commercial bragging about the $1K cash back on 08's.
 
I have been all over the Camry hybrid groups, there is a larger one at another url and there is no problem with the battery charging. I have had a '08 Camry hybrid for about 6 weeks now; it is a phenomenal car they have achieved a fantastic balance between fuel economy yet with impressive power when you need it. And getting 40+ mph in a conventional looking car doesn't hurt either.
 
My wife has an '08 Lexus (ES350) and she now wishes she had bought a Camry hybrid instead.

dang you should of just came to Portland and get a Camry for at least 600-700 under their invoice. In Portland the dealers have holdback, TDA, WFS fees too but seemed pretty lenient in taking some of those fees off. Which dealership in Seattle did you end up buying your car from?

Purchased a 2008 TCH - leather, nav, sunroof, mats, XM tuner and heated seats out the door for $29.5K in Atlanta. Thanks for everyone's input.

I did try the portland dealers, mainly toyota of gladstone and ron tonkin, both were only ready to come down about $50 - $100 below invoice (invoice included TDA, WHS, Holdback and Gas charge). I tried a bunch of dealers in seattle / portand dealers via email attack and then talked to the ones that were the lower in initial offer. The catch was that I wanted a specific color (barcelona red with ash leather / nav) and there were only 2-3 cars in 2008 left in that.
 
Ultimately, we had to get the car from Eugene, worked with Burien Toyota and they had a driver fetch the car for us from Eugene, which played a major role since I didn't have to take a day off or go over the weekend to get the car, our prior car (Lexus GS 350) was totaled and we needed a new car pronto.
 
No doubt, if I was not in a hurry, would have waited till end of month and then tried to get another 300-400 off but I tried that last month and didn't work out in seattle. On the positive side, got $400 off from toyota so total was $27427 for MSRP of $31188, dealer invoice was $28027. Plus they tacked on a doc charge which was not disclosed earlier so I had them give me a $50 gas voucher in lieu of the doc fee. All in all, we were pretty satisfied, its hard to commute with a single car in seattle when you have 2 people working with a daycare drop/pickup.

2009 Camry XLE w/ Leather pgk.,Vsc.,heated seats,.and 5 piece floor mat set.Msrp. $28,149 Their first offer was $25300. This would be the third car I bought from them, in jan. 03 I bought a 03 xle. w/ the only options being, side curtain air bags and floor mat set and glass breakage sensor and first aid kit Msrp. $23642. I bought the car for 20,500 the discount was $3142. If this is the car we decide to buy, my offer is going to be $24,800. No trade involved, straight sale. I feel I should get a bigger discount on a more expensive car. Opinions please. I am 1.5 hrs. from Fitzmall and this dealers price is the same as theirs. Thanks.

wow from Eugene to Burien... now thats far. I had to drive from Renton to Eugene a month ago... never again on the same day, got to at least stop in Portland for a night
 
Last week I started asking for quotes from dealerships in the Portland area. All of them were giving me a quote of 500 dollar OVER invoice except for Gresham Toyota which straight off the bat gave me a price of 100 under invoice. I emailed other dealerships and all of them told me to go buy from Gresham Toyota.
 
My mom really needed a car because her last car died and she needed a car to go to work but I was stuck in Eugene (maybe I should of tried the Eugene dealership also) because it was the weekend before finals and I couldn't afford to waste studying time to go to dealerships and spend all day negotiating.
 
My mom got really anxious to get a new car but she has no knowledge on pricing or negotiating at all, so I just told her to go to Gresham Toyota and just tell them you'll only buy for 19,000. My mom ended up settling for 19400 but if I was there I probably would of gotten them to go down to 19,000 eventually.

Congrats Frankrom22,
Thats an awsome good deal. Can you please tell me which dealership you got your car? Also what was the MSRP? Which color did you get.
Well enjoy your new ride and hopefully I'll be able to find one too.
Thankyou

Sandy Springs Toyota
Silver
 
MSRP was $31K -$32k I think.
 
It took them several days to get me the car b/c I wanted silver and it was a hard color to find with the features that I wanted. They ended up bringing a car in from North Carolina.
 
Honestly, I am not sure if it was a great deal. I probably could have negotiated a few hundred lower. However, I was happy with the price, so it worked for me.
 
Thanks
