    We are finally trading in our trusty Gen 2 Prius we have had since it was new. The dealer offered $2500 on trade and Carvana $1250. Any ideas about the value or where best to sell?

    166k base model
    No rust
    No issues
    All maintenance receipts
    Extra rims with snow tires
    New muffler

    2 minor accidents while parked (dented door and scratched side, both completely repaired)

    We would keep driving it but for the current incentives on a new EV in our area.

    Thanks!

    You should easily be able to get 5K for it. Post here, Facebook marketplace, Craigslist. Cash only or meet at bank for exchange.
    It pays to keep meticulous paperwork. Would help if you've got accident pictures; before the repair.

    Good Luck

    Thanks! Too bad the crazy days of Carvana are gone. I like the idea of the no hassle sale process.

    Agree on the $5k, if you want an easy sale, price it a bit cheaper.

    you will loss a lot of $$ on trade ins.. Facebook marketplace is the way to go, easy $4-5k on that one. Nobody uses craigslist anymore..
    Make a bill of sale, get the buyers info (driver's license and address/phone#) to protect yourself.
