    Here's a Craig's List Post from 5 April for a 2009 Prius, asking price $17499
    Here's the same 2009 Prius posted on Craig's List on 27 April for $19499!

    $2000 increase in 22 days, not to shabby! :eek:

    If it didn't sell at 2k less I doubt it will sell now.

    Well, they apparently think it will! I'm going to check back in another few days and see if it increases another $2K! Amazing!

    Don't you just love how the used car punks are allowed to sell used cars and not spec the pkg #. That way they can fill in a bunch of basic features making you think you're getting some up there.

    This car is a pkg2. 55k miles, $19.5k. Powertrain warranty almost history.

    Assets are best valued by sale price, not ask price.

    If the would-be seller still has it, the ask price exceeds the real value.
