I'm a long-time Toyota owner - the TCH will be my 7th Toyota since 1980 - so I am familiar with the company and product line. But nothing in the car business has excited me more than the new TCH. At first, my local dealer said he wouldn't have any until December. Then, he e-mailed and said they had an "extra" Jasper Pearl with heated mirrors allocated to them scheduled to arrive in September. And since I wanted the $2,600 tax credit (I think I will qualify), it was an easy decision. Yes, it'll be MSRP, but I look forward to using much less gas (I have an '05 Sequoia - though for its size it's probably the class leader in mpg) and sharing my experiences here. Thanks in advance for the advice and tips!

From what I see on this forum, people are paying from MSRP to about 750 below MSRP. I am not that eager to pay MSRP when there are alternatives. But, I do want to give it a serious thought to buying TCH. I donot mind waiting for some months. Would anyone venture a guess w.r.t Pricing in about 6 months ? Will the demand continue to be as it has been ? What impact will the reduced tax credit have on the demand and the price ? Will Toyota increase the supply/production ? Any informed opinions/comments ? -GM

Replying to: gudman (Sep 01, 2006 12:36 pm) #5082 of 5082 Camry Hybrid & V6 by yerth10 Sep 01, 2006 (2:20 pm) Incentives apart, there is lot of motive to buy a Camry Hybrid compared to [Camry] V6. It costs only 3 K more than V6 model and will get that money very quickly since V6 will give a very low mileage. As for the pickup, Hybrid is just 1 second slower, but it has a longer range, more smooth ride and lot of show off and green image. Spread out over even 5 years, you paying MSRP, and the price of gasoline continuing to go up over the years, I don't think you would have paid, in real dollars, any more than buying a non-hybrid at $1500/$2000 below MSRP.

Replying to: gudman (Sep 01, 2006 12:36 pm) Waiting. Depending on which trim you want, waiting may be the only option. The loaded up versions are scarce to non-existant. There are likley standard versions available even with a possible discount now. With only 29 days left to get the full $2600 rebate getting a loaded one is very very likely impossible by 9-30. In 6 months? Again it depends on the market and whether it want's the higher trim over the standard version. Production at Georgetown KY is supposed to begin this month for arrival in Oct/Nov. The expectation is that sales will be 80,000-100,000 annually which is the same as the Prius. IMO if you want a standard version negotiate a good price, get it now and take the $2600 from Uncle Sam. After 9-30 you will have to negotiate a $1300 better deal than you do this month. That might take some doing. If you want a loaded up version you have little or no choice but wait. |

$30,000+ for a Camry? I know it gets great gas milage and all, but does that not seem steep for a mid sized sedan? I have driven the XLE V-6 and it was nice, but not $30,000 nice. You can get a very nice used lexus at that price or less. How long do you estimate it will take to recoup the extra cost associated with a hybrid, even at current gas prices? |
