With the high price of petrol, the Toyota Prius is experiencing an exceptional surge in demand in US. JD Power's recent study had revealed that a new Prius sits no longer than 5 days in dealers, where second hand Prius sits no longer than 20 days in the lots.
Another astounding discovery; a new Prius averaged at a price of $26,672 US dollars, but a 2nd hand Prius with less than 10,000 mileage costs an average of $1300 more! For a unit that clocked less than 20,000 miles the price is only $270 off a new unit!
With more than 3 months of waiting list, Toyota is looking at ramping up it's production.
