Is there haggle room on the Hybrid Camry at this time, or is the demand such that it's MSRP?

I think you're stuck with MSRP around here. I had to wait about 3 months for the one I got a couple weeks ago, and even then I moved up the list because 2 people ahead of me for same color/package fell through. Best I could do was $250 off MSRP, using a loyalty coupon from my previous Prius purchase. I do have a couple of their $250 coupons for "friends and family" still in my file. You're welcome to one (they're for Walser Bloomington Toyota); let me know.

Also, if you or spouse has college degree from last 2 years, you can finance it thru TMAC and thus get a $400 rebate that the dealer applies to your down payment. My wife is in her 40's, but she completed a degree a while back, and we used that for rebates on two Prii and the HyCam in the past 18 mos., then just paid off the loans within a month or so, as we'd planned to pay cash anyway.

I was also on a waitlist for the HyCam at Heintz toyota in Mankato, and they are also about 4 months out. MSRP. Good people down there; my dad bought a prius from them in 8/05. (Both Heintz and Walser hit you for no more than a $50 doc fee, other than the usual halfhearted attempts to pitch extended warranty and the other BS.)

Rudy Luther Dealership (Toyota City) swears they are only 4-6 weeks out. They've been good to us on past cars so would probably go there. I'll let you know if I need the coupon, as I bet they would match it.

Yeah.. the demand is pretty high. At my dealership I bought my Toyota from I was talking to my dealer and he was saying that once the Cambrids came out it took a SLIGHT dent off the Prius list (300+ people) and started forming a new Cambrid list.. Barely out of the oven and people are trying to eat em!

CH or the Camry Hybrid price stays at MSRP for the foreseeable future but, Prius price will come down a little from MSRP list. Probably in the tune of $500 to $750

Toyota says has a back log order of 5000 CH ! therefore will commence production this month in KY along the ICE Camry assembly lines.
