Looking for a used Toyota Prius to ease the pressure on your wallet? Perhaps you should consider getting in line for a new one. It would be cheaper..
USA Today reports, "Buyers are so eager to start saving gas with the nation’s best-selling hybrid that they’re paying more for a used Prius than they’d pay for a new one if they were willing to wait." Data from J.D. Power and Associates show that, with long waiting lists for the 2008 Prius, buyers are now paying an average of $27,945 for a used 2008 model — about $1,300 above the price of a new one.
Next Autos reports that even 2007 Priuses "with an average more than 22,000 miles racked up, are commanding $26,396 — just $276 from the new cars’ average."
Autoblog Green comments, "Toyota is increasing Prius production, but that’ll take a moment to be felt on dealer lots. In the mean time, if you absolutely have to have a hybrid, we see a Malibu in your future."
