1 yr worth 73% of original value, 2 yr 64%, 3 year 55%
anyone?

Despite the absurd panic about a year ago when people figured out they lost 25-30% over the first year the car is holding steady, most places have a strong market keeping cars around $20k (lots of demand for a car like this and enough people with the money to pay that price) and the lack of changes year to year have seen values plateau. I wouldn't expect to see $15k (%60) the norm for another two years at least. Oh and if they discontinue the car at the end of it's run (2-4 years from now) expect to see values jump
up.
The car has only been on the market for roughly 3 years, 3 months. Got another 6+ months to go before looking at 4 year values.
There are areas where demand is low and if you can take a higher mileage one with a few dings you can certainly get under $18k but it's a rarity. But be willing to fly to it and drive it back (well worth it imo, if I were to buy another one I'd do it in a heartbeat to save a couple hundred bucks, nice little vacation and roadtrip to familiarize yourself with the car).
