Well on this point I think you are wrong just because there are so few used hybrids in the market place and the fact that new hybrids are still pretty expensive. Even when they do come out with better hybrids the old ones will be in VERY high demand for years to come. If I were a used car dealer I would look at any hybrids I could get my hands on as solid gold!! |
NO NO no... I'm never wrong 
well... of course right now hybrids are the hottest thing in the car industry. And if hybrids were sold here in mexico and I still were selling used cars, I would buy some. Of course this in other timeline, space-continium
I don't have a clue of the current value of an used hybrid. As I know they are pricy in the used market. But I would not bet that hybrids will retain their current value in the next 4-5 years.
Why? simply because they will cool off and start loosing their used value.

Well I agree but you need to adjust your timeframe to more like 10 years. Hybrids are going to be RED hot for at least the next 5 years new. Every major auto maker is scrambling to add more hybrid models as soon as possible. I have seen some estimates that 50% of the cars on the market will be hybrids in 5 years. I don’t see the used market for these cars cooling off for a long, long time simply because the used market is so over saturated with cars right now and just a tiny % are hybrids!
Would I want one? Hell no. Would I want to buy one if I was a used car salesman? It would be the #1 car I would be trying to get!!
