Budget is $6800 max, including all extraneous costs. Lowest C-Max within reasonable distance is ~$8000.

Looked up the same car on Edmunds...$4800. What a difference. The reason for a Prius as opposed to other hybrids is their better fuel efficiency, and increased cargo capacity compared to a sedan hybrid. She's "downsizing" from a minivan.

Craigslist was honestly the only place we've looked so far besides Facebook marketplace. I'll definitely keep a lookout elsewhere.

Kinda hoping to find one with a new battery to avoid the potential of having to replace it after another 100K miles.

I've heard the 2nd gen Prius is better than the 3rd gen, is this true?
