today while applying for a credit card, it asked me to list assets including the value of my Prius. well only knowing what i paid for it new (20,690) i didnt know what it would be worth now that it had 6490 miles on it so i went to cars.com and used the Kelly Blue Book Calculator to find out. much to my surprise and delight my cars retail value is now 23,445 and the trade in value is 21,320 so i have discovered another reason to buy a Prius, as an investment!!
