If there are 10 dealers near you that have the car you want, with the options you prefer, and a mileage range you're comfortable with, but one of those dealers is offering theirs at a significant discount, you can be sure it's not from the kindness of their heart.
At this point, engineers need to figure out how to give the car more mileage range; 40 mpc (miles per charge) is already unacceptable when Nissan's EV claims 100 mpc and GM saying their Volt will hit 600 miles per thankful of gas thanks to its on-board gasoline-fired battery charger.
High-mileage examples tend to sell in the $10,000 to $11,000 range, and low-mileage cars in exceptional condition go for more than $20,000.

Gas mileage, which ranges from 15 m.p.g. in town and 20 on the highway (for the all-wheel-drive V-8) to 16/23 (for the rear-drive V-6) is unimpressive but typical of this class.
