Depreciation Insight
Understanding how a vehicle’s value changes over time is critical when evaluating whether a used Toyota Prius price aligns with its worth. For the 2008 Prius, typical depreciation trends are:
- First Year: 15–20% drop from the original purchase price as it transitions from new to used status.
- Year 2–4: 8–10% decline each year, cumulative loss usually around 35–40% of original MSRP after three years.
- Beyond Year 5: Slower depreciation; a 2008 Prius might retain about 20–25% of its original value after ten years, contingent on mileage and maintenance.
These figures are fairly representative for a well‑maintained vehicle at average mileage. What is a 2008 Toyota Prius worth? If you’re in the market, look beyond the sticker price and consider how many kilometers it has traveled, whether it has an intact service record, and if it’s been subject to any major repairs.
