I did some hybrid car shopping this weekend in Southern California, and I was a little surprised.
The hybrid market is getting even hotter.
While that doesn't surprise me when it comes to the Toyota Prius, it does a little with the Ford Escape hybrid.
At times, some dealers have told me that they've had difficulty selling the hybrid Escape, but not right now, they're smoking. Since dealer add-on fees add more than $5000.00 to the MSRP, that's a bit surprising.
Fortunately, in SoCal, only the Ford Escape hybrid had dealer add-on fees.
I was able to find a few new Prius for sale at MSRP, but everyone I found was a package 6 - just under $27,000. It has, on the other hand, become almost impossible to find a base-priced Prius
At Honda I was able to find a good selection of both Civic hybrids and, particularly, Accord hybrids at MSRP as well.
