From the HOV thread, it seems that we are getting very close to the end of the line. Out of curiosity. How does everyone think that the end of the HOV stickers being issued will affect the sales prices of the HCH that already have the HOV stickers?

Yes, especially HCHII's and new Prius models. I think well maintained HCHII's under 30,000m w/ HOV decals will retain 85-90% original value - assuming the end of decal line is indeed upon us.

Before the extension a new Prius w/ 22k on the odo went for MSRP at a local dealer in SoCal because it had the decals and everyone thought that was the last of them.

I will add the value will diminish the closer we get to 2011.
