Hybrid shopping: Resale value of Prius slowing

The Toyota Prius is a hot vehicle. Used ones sell still sell for more than new ones because some people simply can't wait to get their hands on a new one. 

In the past, used Prii could easily fetch $1000-$3000 above sale price and wait times for a new Prius easily stretched as long as 6 months. 

Ultimately this lead to several increases in Toyota's hybrid production, which now stands at 100,000 units for this year. Consequently, average wait times have dropped closer to 2 months. 

This increase in supply has decreased the profitability of Prius flipping - good news for buyers.(DetroitNews)
