I agree with that, you buy a more expensive car (the Hybrid vs LE - or -BMW vs. Camry) you sell it for more when it comes the time. However the price premium for TCH doesn't make a lot of sense to me. That extra 4 to 12 miles MPG doesn't add up to $5,000 for my usage. I will be the first standing in line when they make a hybrid that makes sense but until then... meh! Those options that the dealer is putting on the car are actually cheaper than Toyota's standards. The analogy to buying Hummer or V6 doesn't really hold in here because I am looking for the best value car between Camry 2007 family.
Thank you guys for your input, cao
