Replying to: shasta67 (Nov 06, 2006 7:26 pm) but I still do not feel the tax credit does the average Joe much good.   I would think that the "average joe" could use $2600 in his pocket to help pay for food and schooling. For the "above average" joe, I traded down and since May 5th when I took delivery of my TCH I have saved an additional $2850 in reduced car payments and savings on gas. I am fortunate that my state also has a tax credit and I'll get an additional $3750 over three years, but even without that the savings occurs every day I drive the car. As for the "unaverage" joe, if they don't have a job where they actually pay $2600 in taxes OR they pay the AMT, then the tax credits certainly don't motivate them.   Knowing what I know now I would buy this vehicle without any tax credits.

Replying to: lzc (Nov 06, 2006 8:20 pm) An important nuance for us as buyers vs Toyota as a manufacturer is that the retail price has no bearing on what Toyota sees as it's revenue. Until some time in the future that rebates are offered, for Toyota the manufacturer all vehicles sales are at 'full sticker' ( to it's dealer network ). What the retail outlets do to move the inventory has no bearing on Toyota ( or any manufacturer for that matter ).   The result is that we should now begin to see a good supply of all TCH models, even the loaded ones so much in demand, since the more it ships the more 'full sticker' sales Toyota can make. Bring KY on line jumps the capacity by about 4000 units a month up to about 8000 units. Replies to this message: lzc (Nov 10, 2006 4:26 am)

Replying to: kdhspyder (Nov 10, 2006 2:47 am) Yes, you make a good point. However, the price to dealers will drop if demand declines beyond a certain point. Manufacturers often need to drop prices to help reduce inventory. Otherwise, dealers stop buying.   In our case, we decided to buy the TCH because it wasn't "fully loaded." With moonroof the headroom in the Camry is tight. So far, ours is the only one we've seen without a moonroof.
