Purchased 10/09 for $23,019.00 has 16k miles, no accidents, oil changed every 5k or less (overkill), black, a few scatches , no accidents, running perfect. Thinking of selling because i dont drive it much, about 8k a year. not many for sale by owner lisiting in Portland (Oregon) Craigslist so hard to get idea of price. I did have tinting done and it looks great, also purchased a set of top of the line studless snowtires ( Michelin X-Ice Xi2) ( snowed once in Portland last year) KBB says 27k (which is crazy) Edmunds 21,800 What should i ask for? plan to get her detailed this week, have all receipts for service. Any advice is apprciated.
Kelly Blue Book gives unrealistic good price. NADA (with 16K) gives $22,775 for clean trade-in and $25,875 retail. I would just call dealer and find out how much new ones go for in your area.. then figure out something under it. MSRP with destination charge is $24,280 for Prius II, $25,280 for III, $28,080 for IV. if you list it list KBB, NADA and site local availability good luck.
It sounds like you do not need to sell so time is not a worry so you can price it high and wait. I always try and have a rationale for pricing so I'd say split the difference between the two and list it at 25k.
You should expect to get what you paid for it. I was at a dealer in Peoria, Illinois yesterday. They have none in stock and estimated that I could get what I paid for mine (also a II) or close to it. I have 26,000 on it. In Chicago, dealers are getting 1000 over sticker.
