    I'm not saying right now while there's still Gen2 Prius everywhere... My examples were referencing vehicles from 40 or more years ago... As in I'm talking about a long term investment that you need 20-30 years to mature. As for Bring a Trailer, that's an auction sight for hobby collectors, not professional curators who work for collectors with deep pockets. And again, the amount of documentation you gather up today, will massively boost the value of the vehicle in a couple-few decades.

    Crazy story, Eric. A Prius owner I know had his Gen 2 totaled because of mouse damage to the instruments. So good luck sorting that out.
    It looks like the car has a pretty high trim level, judging from the fog lights.

    Gotcha. Ok, that makes more sense.

    Looks like we'll be keeping it in the family for now. While it is running and driving, still more clean up to do.
