    Im wondering if anyone can assess the value of this Prius, specifically what would a dealer offer for trade in.

    its a 2003 Prius with 201,000 miles high voltage battery is bad, and a couple other things might be also. The body has some dings and some clearcoat scratches. It does not run, Main battery light on MFD. Interior is in bad condition

    How much would a dealer give the owner for a non working vehicle with this amount of miles?

    Did you try a bluebook/blackbook lookup? That might give you a rough idea.

    Around here the dealers often have "Push, Pull, Drag" sales where they guarantee $3500 for any trade regardless of condition. That's the best way to get rid of a car in that condition, if you can find something on the lot to trade for. I find these mostly on American dealer lots, but it often applies to the used lot, too.

    Im wondering becasue this is a friend of mine, and if she gets more than 1000 for the car i wouldnt buy it from her, so as long as she gets more than 1000 for a trade in then i guess i wont buy it
