#142 of 3943 Re: HL MSRP [sunbyrne #140] by ssachnoff Apr 20, 2004 (11:39 am)
Replying to: sunbyrne (Apr 20, 2004 10:38 am) Those MSRP's I quoted from Edmunds were, indeed, the numbers for the "standard" Highlander. I was assured by Toyota reps at the Chicago Auto Show earlier this year that the Hybrid HL would come out in both the "standard" and Limited versions. I also have confirmed as much from the owner of a suburban Chicago Toyota dealer. I agree that any buyer will be paying no less than MSRP and I also am resigned to the likelihood that the first Hybrid HL's that hit dealer floors, whether they be "standard" or Limited, will be loaded with extras that will drive up the MSRP. Here's hoping I can get one that's not too loaded and, therefore, closer to the 32K I cited in my earlier post.
#143 of 3943 Excellent! by sunbyrne Apr 20, 2004 (1:35 pm)
Aha! I seem to remember seeing somewhere that they were only going to release it as a Limited--I'm very happy to hear that's not the case. Should save me a couple grand...
#144 of 3943 Re timing by backy Apr 20, 2004 (6:34 pm)
I have heard that the RX400h is coming before the HL hybrid from my local sales rep, who seems particularly in the know on Toyota hybrids.

Every dealer I've talked to says 400h coming first.   Just go to the Lexus.com and look at the FAQ for 400h. It says Fall 2004.   Also, it doesn't make sense to sell the cheaper product first. No one will go for the more expensive one.   Hong.
#146 of 3943 Tax Deduction and hybrid saving calculations by bpwrightwv Apr 22, 2004 (7:58 am)
The tax deduction for 'approved' clean fuel hybrid vehicles is as follows: $2000 for 2003 tax year $1500 for 2004 tax year $1000 for 2005 tax year $500 for 2006 tax year The deduction is taken by the original owner in the year purchased. Ex: you buy a Prius in 2004, you can deduct $1500, even if you do not itemize. Currently, neither the Lexus nor Highlander are on the IRS approved list. No reason they shouldn't be added, though. In any event, assume it will be added for 2005 tax year, you'll be able to take a $1000 deduction. In order to figure that into your costs/savings, multiply by your marginal tax rate

Well, the IRS, like any large entity, is probably just slow in updating records. Since these hybrids are 2005 model years, perhaps they'll be added for the 2005 tax year.
#148 of 3943 Price Info in July? / On a List by dan_p Apr 30, 2004 (9:04 am)
Got fed up with not hearing from my local dealer, so I went by last week. I asked them what interest had been like and they said they were getting 2-3 calls a day. I asked if they had a list, they said no. I talked with them a bit more and the sales rep started a contact list with my name on top. Persitance pays. I guess in this case though I'm being persistant so that I can pay. My dealer said price info was coming in July along with a $500 deposit for a Jan. delivery at the earliest. Hope this helps.
#149 of 3943 hybrids in accidents by lamontbond May 05, 2004 (8:05 am)
i read an article today in the express, a free newspaper given to comuters on the D.C. metro system, discussing the added concern of high voltage in hybrids in case of an accident.   rescue workers are concerned that they might get electrocuted by the 500 volts running through the engine when they cut through a car to get to the passengers. The hybrid manufacturers siad the engine is designed to shut down in an accident, i just wanted to give a heads up

Here's an article on the safety precautions Toyota has taken on its Prius model concerning crashes:   http://pressroom.toyota.com/photo_library/display_release.html?id- =20040504a

We've got a separate discussion created for this issue: Hybrids in the News
