[quote=Anonymous]I have 2004 Prius with 183k miles on it. It's having some issues right now and according to my hybrid battery guy it needs a new inverter/converter and a new 12 volt battery (not the hybrid battery). I am not currently driving it because the big warning triangle came on and I can hear the hybrid battery fan running. It sounded like he could fix it for not an arm and a leg (maybe $500? Or more?)... but I am not sure I want to put any more money into it and may just get a new car.

I was surprised to see that KBB values it (for private party) at $1500 to $3000, even listing the condition as "fair"?

So how do you sell a car with an obvious issue and get maximum $$$$? Even on the low end, that's more than I would have thought and more than I could get for a trade in.

When I bought this car I traded in a 1988 Camry for like $1000... probably could have gotten more.

Also curious to hear people's recommendation my next car. Debating whether to spend $$ (Insight, Ioniq hybrid, or another Prius) or $$$$ (Tesla, Kona EV, or Ioniq EV). Obviously I keep cars for a long time but i'm having trouble stomaching $40k+ vs. $25K.
