[QUOTE="Jacob Dryer, post: 966757, member: 63151"] average price of all 2001 models for sale on autotrader, that way regional markups are averaged in (difference from kbb number) percent markup diff from kbb to autotrader *I think* prius $7,684 (2499) 32.5% camry $7,353 (2108) 28.7% focus $4,916 (1881) 38.3% residual percent of original purchase retained (autotrader price/msrp*100=%) prius 32.7% camry 36.4% focus 29.8% The issue that still isn't really touched on is the battery part.. If you have to replace the batteries at 10 years with a cost of 4k, that is essentially like replacing the motor in one of the non-hybrids. I'm still not putting my money on batteries, we all know they will fail sooner or later. Not to say that motors won't, but they are a proven technology that can run 300k miles in some cases with only minor maintenance. Early adopters of hybrids are paying for us to wait until they figure it out :haveabeer: [/QUOTE]
