World’s market is significantly influenced by the disaster attacked Japan several weeks ago. This tragedy also affects the up and down of prices in car industry, especially Toyota Prius. With the company is interrupted in producing the vehicles, Toyota Prius is in a high demand and its average sales price even becomes pretty higher than its original price.

The average price of a brand new Prius reaches $64, it is higher that its $25,926 average price in the first week of this month. Meanwhile, the second-handed Prius with 22,500 miles was sold at $24,705 on April. With Toyota isn’t able to produce new ones recently since the disaster happened, the higher demand for Prius affect the price to get higher as well. Although the Prius line Japan was one of the first that the company was able to reopen after the disaster, the production cannot be optimum since it just gives half on normal output.
