Found this today. Pretty dang low KM, but still high priced like everything else:

I like the Prius for the fact that I can relax and get great fuel economy, but at the same time I’m really attached to my Civic. Can’t get the greatest FE but boy do I have so much fun doing it, and the thing never does die mechanically. I wish they’d make a newer, slightly larger Gen 1 Insight! Closest I can think of is the CRZ, but that doesn’t even get very good mileage or performance, for what it is.

Something I have realized is that a Prius would possibly be better on the winter. I’m sure it’s somewhere around 3800lbs compared to the 2500lbs of my car. Could make a big difference going through snow and keeping traction on ice.
That Prius looks to be priced right to me. 2007, 78K km, $5500 CAD. That is really low kilometers for the year. Around here I would expect to pay $4,000 to $5,000 for a Prius with double the mileage.


I sold my 2005 with almost 150K miles for $3500 USD back in 2016
I traded the 2009 with 120K miles for $5500 back in 2018.
