Prius supply down to hours
Interested in a Toyota Prius? Good luck, the supply of the Prius used to be measured in days, now it's down to a couple of hours according to a Reuter's article.
"Toyota sold 72,849 Prius hybrids in the first eight months of 2005. That was a 132.0 percent increase over the same period of 2004." And Highlander hybrids are hot as well. In just a few months, Toyota has sold over 8,000 hybrids - as many it could make.(AutoWeek)
For those interested in hybrid cars it is; unfortunately, a seller's market. Hopefully the new, redesigned Honda Civic hybrid can help with the shortage of hybrids. Still, Katrina, Rita, and $3.00+ gasoline has created a lot of interest in hybrid vehicles and in fuel efficiency. So much so, that CAFE has become a hot topic for the constituents of many members of Congress (more).
In the short term, hybrids simply won't have enough inventory.

Supplies are being updated weekly, so that most customers today (Dec 1, 2006)can buy one immediately. Here at Mossy Toyota in San Diego we will generally have about 4 in stock. The "new" TOURING model is more limited with availibility(I might add my favorite!) but I love teaching my customers how to drive their cars. I have sold over 70 myself and love seeing so many on the road!
I appreciate all contacts and look forward to making California the state with the most hybrids!
