    This what I don't understand, why does someone try to sell a used Plug In above what a brand new Plug In is at MSRP?

    ... And when I ask for a more realistic price, I get accused of "low balling", even when I provide a link to Edmunds. I even cite dealers selling below MSRP for new Plug Ins and their price is above dealer used prices.

    What are these people thinking?

    Hopefully reality set in soon, as gas prices has been falling a few pennies every 3 - 4 days in a row.

    Below is just a few examples:

    I'm guessing that dealer didn't get the word that the HOV sticker program has been extended for PHVs.

    27K for a brand-spanking-new Pip isn't a bad deal!


    EDIT: More like 28OTD.

    Since there will be no 2016 pip I'm guessing that the remaining 2015's will go fairly fast.

    There will always be people who have unrealistic expectations for the value of their property.

    Not sure why anyone would purchase a used car for they same or close to the same price as a new one..... It would be different if you couldn't find them anymore but that isn't the case

    me neither. the biggest feature of buying a one year old car is the 25% price drop.
