If you are using KBB, its bacause the Imp is a 4-door.
2-door cars hardly ever hold their value as well as 4-door cars with KBB.

I don't know of any source that you could use to look up the value of a car two years befor the present.

Since KBB is a average of reports of what cars SOLD for in the recent past. Seems the value difference might be a indication of populararity?

Thats taken into account to some extent. Prestige I guess would be a better word.
