    · Probably the most upgraded, documented v you can find. Clear title. One owner. Needs nothing that I know of.

    Hybrid battery warranty good for 8 years from date of original purchase or 100k miles. Typically, they last twice as long. Brakes last maybe last 100k or more.

    41.6+ MPG over its lifetime (verify at fuelly.com under goodwitch).

    Kelly Blue Book $11.4k-$13.4k very good condition private party sale Carmax offers 2 similar but 92k and 130k miles and lesser upgrades at $13k+

    $12.0k due to upgrades and maintenance history.

    Surprising for the car being advertised as being in a little out of the way town 50 miles from a city of any size I got 12 calls and, within 24 hours, I have a deposit in my bank and have a buyer flying in from RI on Friday. I think all from a $5 Craigslist ad in a nearby city. Yet several people out of state called. Always wonder afterwards if you priced it too low. My wife has already questioned the price but there is utility in a quick sale. (I sold our last house 2 weeks before the 2008 housing crash when she was wanting to hold out for the last $5k. Sometimes you just take your money off the table.)

    You did well and so did the buyer. Win-win. Always good, even if it's not an absolute maximum you could have gotten. Sounds like a great car. I really wanted a V as a second car, but decided on a non-hybrid (Matrix) as a good backup.
