Getting rid of 2005 Prius

I'm thinking about getting rid of my 2005 Prius with around 184,000 miles. But, I was wondering if anyone knew if I would be able to get more money out of it by scrapping it/taking it apart and selling its parts or by doing a trade in value somewhere/selling it to CarMax? For reference, the estimated online offer for my car from CarMax is $1,200.
Thanks for any advice anyone can provide!

 

Well I live in Ohio and I park outside so whenever summer hits I usually have problems with the hybrid battery. But after running some tests with the Dr. Prius app and replacing a module or 2 it usually runs fine until summer hits again the following year. Through college I was fine with dealing with that but now that I have a job I feel like it may be time to get rid of it and get something where I don’t have to deal with that each year. But since that is a yearly problem I don’t really want to just list it on Facebook for cheap and have someone who is desperate buy it with their hopes up of it not being a problem for them.

I just had new front breaks put on a couple months ago, it gets regular oil changes, and had new tires put on last year. It is a 2005 so by no means is it in perfect condition but I would say it’s still in pretty good shape.

 

No I didn't realize that was a thing. Thanks for sharing. I will try to get some pictures when I get home tonight.

 

I have added some to the thread!

 

There’s really only two minor cosmetic issues. The hole in the driver’s floor mat seen in the pictures above and this here on the passenger side front bumper/fender. I took it to a local auto shop to get the headlight replaced and they somehow managed to break off the part of the fender that clips in to the bumper at this one spot so it appears slightly indented there but structurally it’s still held on well and isn’t loose at all.
