end of Feb allocations for Prius in SoCal

There are 234 cars being allocated late tonight in Southern CA. I have no idea what color or package they are, but I usually get pretty close to 3% of the allocation (not bad for being out of 57 dealers!) so that may mean I get as many as 6 cars, maybe 7 this time around?

The production and arrival ratios for cars in SoCal, color etc are:
10% of all cars are AF (package 3 ), 60% of all cars are BC (package 9 ), 20% are BG (package 8 ) and the other 10% are BI (package 6 ) cars. Of course, that being said, there are just that proportion of BC cars wanted, or even more.

Color ratios are:
10% of all are white with gray interior.
10% of all are white with tan interior.
29.9% are silver.
5.1% are black with tan
5.1% are black with gray
5.4% are red.
9.7% are driftwood.
10% are tideland.
14.8% are blue

You can see that being open to any color in a specific package may help you get "the call"... we are all the authors of our own fate! Someone in my line who wants a black/gray package 6 and will not take anything else is certainly painting themselves into a corner of their own making. :>

Jeff, tis torture for us all! :/

 

Can't do it -- too many people are far too flexible and open to too many things!

 

No, I go down the list. I match the PACKAGE willing to take with the buyer and the colors they said they'd be happy with.

If someone has expressed to me that they want a 9 and nothing else, I respect that. I do not call them for a 3 or a 6 or an 8... because if they wanted a 3 or 6 or 8 then they would have told me so.

That's the only way to do it.
