Unfortunately, almost all of your questions have no positive answers. If you look here:

you'll see that the final price varies quite a bit from person to person on the forum, month to month, place to place.

Maybe someone from your area will know a good dealer for you to try, but given a particular dealer, the length of time you have to wait will depend on that dealer and their scheduled shipments. For me, (last fall) there was no wait at all- the dealer had 8 HCHs sitting on the lot. I did actually wait two weeks because I wanted a blue car and there was no blue one on the lot.

As for the maintenance, the differences between the hybrid's maintenance and a regular Civic are very small. There is a special type of oil which is specific to the hybrid, and I do not think the regular Civic needs it. Basically, that means that I will get my oil changes at the dealer. There's been some concern expressed on these boards that if you do not get your HCH maintenance done at the dealer, the auto shop will not be familiar enough with a hybrid to know what they're doing, so maybe getting all maintenance done through the dealer is a good starting point.

Good luck!
