I was ready to buy a new hybrid vehicle late last year.  As I shopped, I was continually surprised to find local dealers adding from $5000 to $8,000 to the MSRP.  Remember the MSRP?  That was the price we used to bargain down from.  Instead, I put $1500 into timing belt and new brakes for my 10 year old Odyssey.  Will now keep it (it's just getting broken in at 88,000 miles) and might look again a few years from now.
