Hello Priuschat! I am considering selling my Prius which is getting up there in miles, and either buying a plug-in vehicle or a diesel vehicle to replace it. I wanted to get some input on what I should price the vehicle at. It is a Blizzard Pearl 2010 Prius V (five) with Advanced Technology package. It has 108,000 miles. The exterior is probably about an 8 out of 10, very good condition considering how many miles it has. The interior is probably an 8.5 out of 10. I looked up the value on Edmunds, which was $17,091 and on KBB, which was $14,097. $3,000 is quite a big difference. I was looking on auto trader to find comps, but there aren't any close to me with that many miles. The closest thing I could find is a five with ATP with 72,000 miles that is listed for $17,984. What do you think I should get for it? Thanks- Brian
I'd say in the Private party marketplace right now, KBB figure looks more like the price you'll get. List it for $16000 and see what offers you get.
I just got a 2010 II, better cosmetic condition, same color with 112K for $10K in cash. I would say $15-16K is reasonable. But some banks (mine is Chase) does not offer loan to the buyer if the seller is private party. Other banks may vary. Good luck selling!
Plug in vehicle or keep what you have. Quickest way to feel "buyers remorse" is purchasing a diesel vehicle, after several full tank fill ups. Diesel vehicle fuel mileage is only marginally better than gas, but diesel fuel is insanely expensive. I speak from experience as a two week ex, 15 year diesel vehicle(s) owner.
