That is just plain gouging.
An $11k 9 year old car with a reliable (yes) transaxle that is prohibitively expensive to repair if/when it does go for a couple MPG over an antique econobox is stupid.
Its unfortunate that people are so reactive to gas. The instant it drops of coarse they will trade the prius back in for a dodge crewcab.
And lately I have found 01-05ish cars in the $5k area down south (high miles), but its always down south (at least of me, maybe east or west of you)
I even asked for a prius with a bad battery (for several years) for $5k or under (older than 06 again) in the same ad but it keeps getting deleted.
Its quite sad when its about the same price to buy new as buying a 4yr old car.
