WTB CALIFORNIA > 2010, < 120k miles, any color

What's it worth to you?

 

Would you pay more for a 2010 package V with all the bells and whistles including technology package and a brand new Toyota hybrid battery (pending). The car is not being driven right now and just parked.....It has 119k miles

 

Actually I haven't decided how much this car is worth, it's always worth more when you're selling it. I'm in the Los Angeles area.

I'll see if I can get some pictures soon (I'm usually very bad at doing this btw)

 

welcome!
keep in mind, you're at the sweet spot for the egr circuit/oil burning/head gasket problem

 

This is a package V (five) regular Prius. The car has standard 17 inch wheels, which lowers the mpg slightly compared to a standard 15 inch wheel. As of early June the car was averaging 42 city and around 46 hwy. With a new hybrid battery, you should see that number jump up a bit.

I'm actually not sure I can sell this yet, as my nephew is moving up to San Bruno for his new job. If he can find a place in San Bruno near his work, he won't need a car. If he can't, he'll have to commute from another location near by San Bruno, and then he'll need this car.

 

Does your partner need a roommate? He's starting his job at Walmart headquarters in July. So he needs to find a place by then. He currently still has his place in Berkeley but doesn't want to live so far away.

 

Yes please ask around. If anybody in San Bruno has a room for rent (that's all he needs right now). Thanks

 

Just be aware that isn’t a V or 5 model .

It’s a III or 3. You can tell by the JBL stereo and cloth seats.

So I’d try and work him down a bit more. As an aside, I sold our 200k miles 2010 II for $4500. To me miles after 100k are all about the same. I would have driven our 2010 longer, but I had competing factors telling me to sell (help someone out and the Prime itch).

If you haven’t talked to @The Critic yet, his 2011 would meet what you are looking for nicely and you’ll have piece of mind on the maintenance being done right. That is if he wants to part with it and get the RAV4 he’s been eyeing.

Good luck and keep us posted .

 

I am considering a sale but I am also semi-actively looking for a house right now. So, I may have to hang onto the car for a little while longer.

I did just do an oil analysis at my last oil change and the engine appears healthy: https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/5146372/2011-prius-idemitsu-zepro-adv-moly-0w-20-3-210-miles

Also, mine has had both bumpers replaced and the spoiler is currently at the shop getting painted (due to clearcoat failure). So, I am not sure if those items make the car significantly less desirable.

JC91006's car is probably a better buy once a new battery is installed.
