Frequently asked questions

How much is a 2023 Toyota Prius worth?

A 2023 Toyota Prius has a median retail value of $24,322, with most appraised between $22,038 and $27,214. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $8,900 across 31 recent sales — the middle 50% between $5,300 and $11,350.

Why is the 2023 Toyota Prius so cheap at auction?

For the 2023 Toyota Prius that gap runs about 2.7× — $24,322 retail against a $8,900 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
