A little late for this thread, as a seller, this is what I offered:

Bought May 2009, non-smoking family
  • VIN: JTDKN3DU8A1000347 (no accidents)
  • EPA MPG: 51 city, 48 highway, regular gas
  • Tires: no wear bars, new pair May 2016 and alignment
  • Bluetooth phone and CD player
  • Midsize, 5 seats, 94/22 ft{3} passenger/luggage
  • ~121 hp, 0-60 ~10-11 sec.
After market additions
  • Receiver hitch, 1-1/4", 200 lb.
  • Garmin nuvi GPS (removable)
  • 110 VAC inverter wiring, 1 kW
  • Forward-backward dashcam with GPS recording
  • Full-size spare and lug-wrench turning jack
  • 12V air pump
Known defects
  • Missing right-front wheel cover
  • Scrapes on front and rear, plastic bumper covers
  • Head light covers have top glazing
  • Audio jack not working
  • Rear window, middle three, defroster traces
  • Cloth seat stains, recently detailed

Fly into Nashville TN or Birmingham AL and I'll pick you up to inspect. Then test drive back to Huntsville and drop me off at home. Bring a bank check and the car is yours.

More details at: https://priuschat.com/threads/2010-l...ot-two.175144/

CarMax offered $6k but we let it go for $7,750 and a $250 deposit. In effect, the price range CarMax would have sold it for had we let them get it. A similar Prius sold for $8.2k on eBay and one with a salvage title and double the miles for $5.5k.

I appreciate that outside of the USA, diesels are highly prized since they have a different opinion about air quality. My understanding is VW-USA may have a growing inventory of previously owned VWs that could provide great value in countries that allow importation. VW has pretty much stopped selling new diesels cars in the USA so prices and availability in other countries should be much improved.
