How come people want my rusted out Prius?

Parts?

 

I don't know how it is in Sweden but there is huge demand for used cars in the USA lately.

Not enough new ones made/sold during the pandemic, so there's a lot more competition for the older & more used. Plus the prices went up, so there's even more demand for ones with low prices.

This isn't terribly helpful because many would-be buyers don't understand how used-up some of these cars really are- they just see a price they can afford and blind themselves to the rest.

 

Because some people are just that silly is what it boils down to they know not what they're getting into and they have somebody who's going to do the work or so on and so forth they buy the mess they don't realize what they've bought into I see these things sitting all over the place where people got it for $700 and we're going to do this this that and all and they grab a Ford focus for $1,000 or what have you and now here I come along and buy the car for $400 the dreams were shattered they had to get back to work the list of nonsense is endless. But in this day and age of the internet if you ask and just wait some dingbat will come along and that's made it bad for everybody because now everybody just sits and waits for an idiot and then if they don't come they'll still get four or $500 when they send it off to the scrap yard I remember when I used to get Corollas and Toyota Celica's supras stuff like that for $300 and way better shape than I see stuff now I've never paid any money for vehicles seriously I've never bought a new car and had a car payment in my whole life and really wouldn't want one on anything like that car motorcycle No I just buy them out right they don't need to be new.

 

lots of threads here where people pay good money for old prius with 2-300,000. miles on them and can't understand why the dash lit up

 

Yes I tried to buy with the dash lit up buy them from women or anybody who's scared to death that something lit up and now it's going to be thousands Tom take it away for 500 please Yes buddy.

 

I would imagine there's a very limited supply of Prius vehicles available for parting out in Sweden. Although the body may be rusty, there may easily be enough good pieces to make it worthwhile to disassemble, especially if someone has a good body or two to put those parts into.

 

excellent!
