For the second month in a row, prices for used Nissan Leafs sank more than any other used car, dropping 4.7 percent ($708) in April. Used prices for the all-electric Leaf are down 14 percent ($2,362) year-to-date while the average price for all late-model used cars is up 1 percent ($258) to $23,167.

Gas prices aren’t driving demand for alternative-fuel cars like the Leaf. Even though the national average for a gallon of regular has been moving up in recent weeks and now stands around $2.65, according to AAA, it’s still about a dollar less than a year ago when the average for a gallon of regular was $3.67.

Used luxury car prices also took a big hit in April; seven of the 10 models with the steepest decrease in asking prices were from luxury brands with the Land Rover Range Rover SUV and Porsche Panamera full-size car rounding out the top three.

The charts below detail used cars from the 2012 to 2014 model years with the biggest price drops and increases. To be eligible for the lists, a model had to have at least 250 cars in Cars.com’s national search listings.
