For those out there that might be thinking about buying a Prius, the choice is kind of a difficult one. On one hand, you can choose to buy now and pay a premium price for this hybrid or you can choose to wait and take a chance that production ramps up in Japan and the supply increases. Mother Nature does not care what the desires of the automobile shopping public in America are unfortunately. As I type right now, the unfortunate news is that another 7.1 richter scale after shock hit the coast of Japan.
There were two production facilities for hybrids opened within the last couple of weeks but with the most recent event who knows whats going to happen now. As someone who works in the automobile industry, my advice to anyone out there who is thinking about purchasing a Prius would be to buy now before dealers start adding a $500 or more bump to the sticker price. Dealers like the Toyota dealership I work at have already started selling at sticker and it might be like this for the next few months. As a result of what's happening in Japan, it has created a sales hike the past month to bump Toyota Prius sales over the millionth mark. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42455700
