So far the Prius is holding value very well. BUT.. that same Prius
is going to need a very expensive battery replacement in a few years
time. We are talking thousands of dollars.



Yep, what do you think a ten year old Prius needing batteries is worth! Not
much is my bet!

I don't think it will be anywhere near ten years. Most things I own
with rechargeable batteries show noticeable loss of power after three
years and have to be replaced by five years. I could be all wet on
this subject, just would not be willing to gamble my money on it.
