Welcome, Mud. Might be pretty slow on here for replies today and the next few days; but hang in and you'll get feedback. There seems to be little room to negotiate on Toyotas. Whether it's due to "Access Pricing" or whatever, just a fact of life. Also, if it's the HL Hybrid you're interested in, I suspect there would be zero negotiation.
I can't comment on your Hybrid queries as I know little about them other than what I read and hear. Maybe others will know more but they are a new product so not much owner experience available. I think their depreciation curve will be dictated by how well they sell and how well they perform.
Merry Christmas and best of 2005 to you.
