Just a general question...
 
Have fuel prices made optional engines a deduction rather than an addition to the car's value?
 
My local, small-town dealer has restocked his used car lot with almost exclusively four-cylinder, compact and midsize sedans and wagons.

Sounds like a pretty smart move on that dealer's part.
 
I certainly haven't heard anything about V6's taking a hit. All the hoopla is about big V8's, especially SUV's and trucks. Good question though. I'm curious what the dealers are seeing.

I hope waiting works for you. here's an interesting article from the Albany, NY area about some dealers not accepting SUVs as trade-ins:

I work as a ship pilot on the Miss. river in NO and we used to get a few ships from Saudi Arabia. Nestled between the containers would be dozens of lightly used suburbans and other large suv's. I wondered why they didn't just get new ones. Now I know. Thanks.

It really depends on the engine.
An Accord V6,esp an older one isn't likely to suffer a fuel related drop in value.
I could see some of the bigger 6 cyl, 3.5 to 4.0L, dropping in value though.
 
I think price is more of an issue.
Less expensive cars w/ small engines are doing better on used car lots that more expensive cars w/ small engines.
We can't keep older S40's and S60's in stock and the auction prices for those cars are ridiculous right now.
