Camry Hybrid Pricing

jedi76 · #1 (**permalink**) 07-26-2006, 07:28 PM

Can anyone give me a ballpark figure on the cost of a new Hybrid? I'm talking about a base model hybrid without all the options. A dealer told me there are 3 trims to the hybrid. I saw the MSRP was like 25,900. What can I really expect to pay?

Go to toyota.com, camry, build and price, put in your zip code, and select hybrid. You will see what packages are offered in your area and what the MSRP is.

You may find a dealer to give you up to $500 off of MSRP.

That's what I paid for mine from a dealer where I have done a lot of business. They are hard to find and get right now.

I got mine for $500 off MSRP and an extra Smart Key Fob. I suppose you could rationalize the Fob as being worth up to $450. J

Yes I have two '07 Camrys.
Power passenger seats come with the Leather option on the HV. So in my case yes. The passenger seat does NOT have the lumbar adjustment however.
Other differences between a loaded HV and XLE V6.
1) No fog lamps. Not even as an option.
2) Driver has an auto open window but not an auto-close. You need to
hold the button up to close it.
3) No wood grain accents. All brushed aluminum.
4) Center arm rest does not slide back.
5) No cover on storage bin immediately forward of the armrest.
6) Rear seats fold forward.
7) A/C has ECO mode.
8) Need to push button to enter "fueling mode".
9) Trunk is substantially smaller.
10) Badges.
11) HV realated displays in the multifunction display.
12) Fuel consumption meter replaces Tach.
13) Instrument perimiters are illuminated based on current gas consumption.

Well apparently my leather was added at port or something and that is why it didn't come with the power seat. It does have labels on the seats that state liquid gel just like the factory. I contacted Toyota Customer Service and started a file. I'm going back to the dealer where I bought it and find out if they knew it wasn't put on at the factory. They did a dealer swap to get the car and need to know what they knew. Don't know if this will do any good or not but will try.

I don't see liquid gel as a factory option anywhere here in the midwest. I bet your leather was a PIO along with the liquid gel and you got a mechanical seat because that's what was shipped from Japan without factory leather.
Just a WAG on my part.

We traded in an 02 Camry for the 07 hybrid camry and I'm really missing the trunk space on the regular camry. It held EVERYTHING. The TCH is about half the size and it really makes a difference for me. I guess we used that big trunk a lot. We took the TCH on a camping trip and had to do some serious packing and rearranging to get all the camping gear to fit in the car. Never had to do that with the old Camry because everything fit easily. I'm also annoyed to learn that the regular Camry has a cover over that storage bin in front of the center console. I hate having that 12v outlet exposed, and anything else I put in there. Oh well!

I must be thinking of something else, but my hybrid has the center console cover on it.

My wife is forever popping that door open on her '07 XLE with her purse so I don't think much of the door being absent on the TCH.
The sliding armrest and auto UP on the driver's window is what I miss.
