We're talking a used car here. But, I bought my Prius in Feb '06 (and got the sticker) because of its purported gas mileage. To me it seemed a no-brainer to stay out of the the car pool lane and crawl along sucking up those miles on battery.

But, came a morning on the new 22, also known as the Garden Grove fwy when I was running late for a bike ride in Orange. Well, I jumped into that CP lane. Since then, that's what I've been doing because the 22 always jams up. So, the 22 jams up and I head into the CP lane.

So, what happens on resale. Do I say like, 20,000.00 and by the way another 6 grand for the CP sticker?
