    How much my Prius worth?

    I have a 2001 Prius with 221000 miles. I need a truck and want to sell the Prius. It has some dents and scratches. Exterior is ok, interior is ok too. Had recent oil, filters change. HV battery is rebuild with 2007 Gen 2 cells. New 12v battery. How much it worth?

    I think that is a little optimistic. I would say it is probably worth $5,000 tops. And that is only because the battery has been replaced. The main factor is the high mileage.

    I'd say the OP would be lucky to get $2K for the car: dents and scratches, 221K miles on odometer.

    I just did a quick search on craigslist, base 2001 Echos go for a little over 3K. $5k might be optimistic, but $2k seems a little low.

    If someone says the exterior is ok but has dents, I take it to mean that they are just door dings. If the dents were a collected and pocketed insurance claim and not fixed, then I retract.

    I sent an e-mail suggesting letting the new owner know about PriusChat as a resource for repair, maintenance and operation tricks.
