Also remember to get a decent deal on a prius you need to travel, up here in the great white north all drivable prius regardless of age, condition and mileage are $7k and up and frankly not worth it.

If the cars actually sell for what people are asking I think I am in the wrong business, import high mileage southern/western cars and sell them for 2x to suckers in the rust belt.

I placed a WTB ad in craigslist stating I would pay the nada book value minus conditional issues on a prius older than 2006, I showed that certain combinations (age/mileage) where valued around $5k or less per retail blue book. Every time I place that add, it gets removed for violating terms even though its in the Wanted section and links to nada.

People like to keep the illusion that things are worth much more than blue book for some reason.

Ah well.
