Greetings, I'm waiting on an ODB2 sensor from a friend to check our 2007 Prius error code. The car lost propulsion on the freeway when a red triangle
, vsc ,and check engine light all triggered together. We needed a tow from shoulder. I'm thinking to sell the car which has 96100 miles, but I'm pretty sure will need a new battery pack (pending error code). Wife and I were thinking to go down to 1 car. We already carpool to work. I'm wondering about purchasing another car as I dont want to keep band-aiding the old Prius. It has also lost the electronic dash readout (intermittent). I'd gotten into a small fender bender in February so localized bumper and hood damage. Lost most its clear coat due to being in the desert with previous owner. A craigslist check shows similar Prius's with serious problems on sale for $2000-$2500....what is a reasonable pricing to sell to private party with localized damage, likely needing NIMH batteries, and an intermittent dash would you think? Of course I'd bought newer tires just 4 months earlier for $500 which I need to factor in.......thx. I'm thinking $1600 (would've said $1300 but $300 for newer tires). Thanks.
