In Southern California, a 2007 with nav can be bought for $6k, and
other used Prius prices are proportionate. As another benchmark, a
low-mileage 2004 in perfect condition just sold for about $2.5k.
I acknowledge the drop in gasoline prices, but that factor alone does
not explain what's happened to The Car With The Highest Resale Value.

$2.5 for a 5 year old car is a lot of money. Check out a 5 year-old
SUV and see what percentage of the original price they now sell for.

Yes. But only a few months ago the going rate was $6k or more,
depending on mileage/condition. The fall since the new year has been
precipitous.
Perhaps the forthcoming Prius? The economy? The Honda Insight?

Not really; I got $5.5 for a five-year old Acura five years ago.

That has very little, if anything, to do with the price of a used Prius.
Prius holds its value better than just about any other car currently
produced.

available - people love them & hold onto them; whereas an SUV...
