Plenty of inquiries (and waiting) for hybrids at local dealerships

LEXINGTON -- A customer at a Lexington car dealership may have unintentionally bought a Christmas gift. Lexington Ford accepted a down payment on a Ford Escape hybrid in June with the understanding that the car may not be available for delivery until November or December, said managing partner Jack Marcinkewicz. ?The problem is getting them from the factory,? Marcinkewicz said. ?That demand across the region is just that high for them right now.?
