Hi,
I am new on this Forum and I am looking into buying a car for the first time. I do not have a lot of knowledge about cars, but I am very interested in the 2010 Toyota Prius with less than 130k miles on it and only clean titles. I was wondering about the price range I should be looking for and if anyone had any advice or experience about used Priuses. Also, aside from Craigslist, where are the best places to buy from private parties?

    Here's TMV pricing for a 2010 Prius II with no options, clean condition:

    Trade-in $5,493
    Private party $6,655
    Dealer retail $7,863

    So you'd offer trade-in and go up to private party.

    Other than craigslist and the online car ad sites, you can chat up people at gas stations (sometimes someone will decide to sell and upgrade knowing they have a buyer for their car - that's rare but they may know someone, and you get to hear more owner stories about how well they like their Prius). You can also scope out bulletin boards around your town. Occasionally a service writer at the dealer will know of someone, though usually those folks are looking to trade-in.

    Here's our appraisal link where you can dial in the numbers a bit better for different styles of Prii and find out how much options are worth.
