    Anyone notice the sudden increase in Prius Prices? Even non-runners now going for a premium!

    I'm not really seeing it in my area yet, but there is some jackwagon listing his clapped out CR-Z for $12K.

    I feel like gas prices haven't been high for long enough yet to budge the market but I'm waiting it out, I only need to run this shitbox for another couple of months before I can move on.

    Not yet... But they're no longer as abundant like they were 6 years ago. Wrecking yards are filling up with lots of gen 2 but not gen3 yet.

    Down here in the Southeast to see a lot of gen 3s that are going from the $2,000 range of course their motors are messed up and they can't get them running right and all this other stuff the bodies haphazard etc . Gen2 are all over the place . But alot of 1100 cars around . Most of them are a lot of them are silly people that think they have something that have no clue what's going on. I try to buy from professional towing lots and whatnot because at least they kind of have a clue we're looking at 22 23-year-old cars here now. That are not classics or any of that nothing to special other than Corolla family of cars and mileage.
