    kbb can't put a realistic value on a vehicle that has been in an accident. unless you have the repair order, it's guesswork. my daughter hit a deer, and could never get more than 10,000 miles out of her tyres after that. the suspension was off and couldn't find anyone who could fix it.

    There is a reason it on Craigslist. My opinion, RUN, don't walk away FAST.

    If you really want a salvage vehicle, contact autobeyours in Indiana. They are a reputable rebuilder. A Prius with front end damage is not something to be taken lightly.

    You asked for other comments, this one is mine.

    Best of luck to you.

    A/C issues are high $$ in Prius. I would avoid it for that alone.

    I don't understand the "salvage" -- the damage occurred after the title change. Was the car simply owned by a business with the word 'salvage" in the name?

    If the AC has had no issues in the 18 months since the work was done .. I would not worry about it.
