I was commenting on Junki's prediction of $15k...like you I agree it should be closer to $18k...but as I noted some non-Scion dealers may be willing to work a deal to see it gone. It has potential of costing a Mazda dealer for instance, multiple lost sales on hardtop Miata's, it's worth it to the dealer to take a slight loss on one sale.

It'll be a rarity to see a sale that low, not an impossibility and the average "low" should be closer to $18k on those with higher mileage.

It's all relative though, if people chose not to part with them at the 18-24 month window then the value of the used will stay high. Some will also depend on if any changes are acknowleged for the '15 model or if they discontinue/Scion goes out of biz.

I agree with @FRSBRZGT86FAN. By NEXT summer they will be sub $20k for sure. The car was 6 months old and I found one, white with a M/T for $23k with something like 2000 miles on it. I had bought my car two weeks earlier

Also, @mrlewistan has a good point. Finding one probably won't be an issue, finding one that is cleaning and hasn't been beaten half to death, will be

Rip off, just being smoked in would make me stay away
