Re: Residual value vs. non-hybrid
8 weeks in to tracking this... Pretty neat to see that the Hybrid jumped up about $1,000 dollars over the non-hybrid last week... Or, for me, up $1,000 since I bought mine in late February.

Re: Residual value vs. non-hybrid
I added the US avg gas price... It's interesting to see how the values have risen and held for about 4 weeks.
This is for a 2009 Escape Hybrid versus a 4-cyl auto with Sync. Both FWD with 70,000 miles (High miles, but that's what I bought...)
The Hybrid is worth $3,950 more today than a 4cyl, where it was only $3,025 more back in February.

I have a deposit on my '05 FEH FWD with 80,000 miles for $11,000. I got calls from Oregon as well as Atlanta from serious buyers. The voltage is a little low for assist, so it's at the dealer for more evaluation when the Hybrid tech returns on Tuesday from vacation. I've had many people locally waiting to get another chance to buy it at my asking price of $11,500 if the sell falls through.
People who want hybrids will spend the money!

Re: Residual value vs. non-hybrid
s'truth. That's the case with buying new too, though.
We had to wait months for our '08 and then took one that was only similar to what we ordered rather than wait more months for the exact model we wanted...
Hybrids, like premium cars, draw a buyer that knows what they want and are more willing to pay for quality.

Re: Residual value vs. non-hybrid
I went through the same thing. I knew I wanted a 2009 FWD, so that limited my internet search to about 30 or so within 1,000 miles.
Then, 99% of the dealers wanted either too much money, wouldn't budge on price, or both.
Luckily I found mine about 450 miles away, for a descent price. Couldn't be happier, but you have to be willing to pay for that premium, rare vehicle.
