How much should I sell my Prius for?

As much as someone is willing to pay?

Good luck!

 

I would check craigslist to see how much people are asking for their cars and price it accordingly. If there are long waiting lists in your area you will get at least MSRP- likely a couple thousand more if you find a desperate buyer. If you are not in a hurry start with MSRP+ 3000 on craigslist and see what happens.

 

Start at much more than you think is reasonable.

 

do what everyone else does, advertise it with a profit you would enjoy, advise its price as negotiable, decide what you can live with and dicker on

P.S. to sell a car in anticipation of buying another one that is not available yet i think is a HUGE mistake...you have driven 3000 miles in 6 months. do you have another car, or is your transportation needs that modest?

 

Don't hold your breath on the plug-in. Initially they'll be available only to fleet customers.

For your reference, myself I wouldn't buy a used Prius for $34K. $28K would be my threshold, and it'd better have some bells & whistles too.

Best wishes to you, and do keep us posted.

 

Welcome to the "Price-Gouging Dealers Club". Happy gouging!

 

Let us know if you get a buyer.

I was thinking about doing something similar, but then I found out my wife is paying $30 more a tank to go the same distance I do.

Besides, I love my Prius.

 

I'd start at 30 K, someone will go for it rather than wait for a new one

 

I'm not sure how much you should sell it for, but I do know there are people willing to pay a lot. My salesman told me that someone paid $16k over the sticker price for a used one.

 

That's just STUPIDITY!

I have never heard of gouging defined this way. Very nice definition, I think I will adopt it.

With the prices that people are getting I have been thinking of selling mine as well. But I won't because I like driving it and in the back of my mind (may be irrational) I can't help thinking that gas lines are going to be coming back. If that happens it won't be the monetary savings that the Prius is good for. It will be the fact that a tank of gas siphoned out of my truck will last me two months if I am frugal.

My thoughts, exactly!

 

I just spoke with dealers here in southern CA who all say they are getting between 2k to 4k over msrp at this time for a new prius.

 

You might try getting a quote from a dealer as to what they would give you for it. I looked at KBB the other day and there was virtually no difference $400 between low blue book (trade-in) versus high blue book (dealer sales price). Sure they'd have to make a profit, but it would be worth a try, and you wouldn't even have to have it detailed. If you get a quote from a dealer, please let the rest of us know what they quote you.

 

I just stopped by my dealer today and had noticed that they had a red Prius on the lot. He told me it was a rental model they had just sold. It was a 2008 package 2 and had they sold it “used” for 25,000. I paid 23,800 for mine, new, just 1 month ago.
