Hi, I am in the market for a Hybrid to reduce my gas bill. I commute 700miles a week and need a high mpg car. I requested a quote from Price Toyoya in New castle DE and the internet manager quoted me $300 over MSRP through e-mail. I saw that a lot of you are getting $3-4k below MSRP. Is there anybody on the East Coast that is discounting Camry Hybrids? I would travel 500miles to pick up the car if I can get the car discounted 3-4K. Thank You

 

Trick is to be prepared to wait, and to order. If you take one off the lot it is gonna be higher becasue of current demand -- probably 2-3K over MSRP. So many people looking to hybrids right now that even color and interior doesn't matter.

 

i live in cali. i went to my local toyota dealer yesterday saw the model and color i wanted (09 magnetic grey metallic.) and left the dealership with my TCH for $28600 +ttl

 

I paid 29,500. Sticker was $32.2K. I got leather heated seats, GPS w/everything, splashguards, body side molding, carpet/trunk mat, window tint, moonroof. Bought off the lot from local small town dealer (previous car totaled)

 

Greetings!

I will be picking up my '09 TCH tomorrow/Saturday (in Calgary, Alberta). 'B' Package (moonroof, etc. - no Nav., or heated leather seats) with the 5 year, 160,000 km ECP extended warranty (we put alot of kms on our vehicles - highway). With everything the price is just over $35,000 CDN.

Ordered it on May 12th, with anticipated delivery on May 27th (so it's early!). With a family, I have been looking at the Escape Hybrid for awhile, but we have had several high km. Toyotas and a Subaru in the past with no reliability concerns, so it was a natural choice. + the L/100km /mileage was much better on the TCH than the FEH.

The '09 TCH Canadian prices dropped from last year (about $1400). The 'B' (the new base) model is listed at $30,660, before taxes, freight, extended warranties, etc. - no gov't rebates or discounts (dealerships are firm with this price), unfortunately...

Very excited, nonetheless!!!

 

If you can't get a deal, consider joining COSTCO or SAM'S Club as they have deals with various dealers. May not be local but what is $40-$50 if you save $500 or $1000.

Here's a hint. If friends have one or both of those, then ask them to check on the appropriate Costco/Sams web site and find out the dealer and/or price. If it is worth it, join. I'll bet it is as you are being scalped.

 

My bank was suppose to have a deal for me to get the 2009 TCH for $750 over invoice no matter what options or packages. The dealer they sent me to said they would not honor the deal for Hybrids. Went to another dealer and they said they would match the deal for $750 over invoice. Before I went to the dealer, I checked their inventory and saw that they had one 2008 TCH with Nav, leather, etc ($31,119 MSRP). On the 2009's they were saying that the invoice for the top of the line was $29k so they wanted me to pay $29,750. That didn't match up with what Consumer Reports says is the invoice but there's no use arguing with an eager salesman and his floor manager...they seem to have print outs for any occasion. I offered $27,500 for the 2008 model they had and went up to $27,650 so the sales guy "could eat." Sales manager said it was impossible that they would lose money, etc. On my way out, the deal was done for $27,650 for 2008 TCH w/ everything. I am in SoCal.
