Pricing Anomaly? 2007 Vs 2008

It's supply and demand. You can't find any '08's and there's a waiting list as high as 200 in some dealerships. This is driving the price of used vehicles up because you won't have to wait 6-8 weeks to take delivery. A member posted a thread at one point of a dealership (in California I believe) that sent a memo out to all their prior Prius customers from '04 thru '07 model year offering to buy back their vehicles for exactly what they paid for them assuming they didn't exceed 12k for each of those years and the vehicle was still in excellent condition.

I bought my 2008 Prius pk#6 about 2 months ago and paid a total of $33,500 out the door, here in Sacramento, and part of the reason for the high cost was because I wanted it sooner and that was after a 1 month wait with the $500 down.

Do shop around and there are definitely much better deals to find if you really search for them.

I like the car but am not too happy with the dealers.
