Wrecked 2005 Toyota Prius questions

How much is a wrecked 2005 Toyota Prius worth?

Most sold for $225 to $425 at US auctions over the last 6 months, with a median of $325 across 249 sales. Where yours lands depends on the damage, whether it runs, mileage and title.

Does it matter if my 2005 Toyota Prius still runs?

Yes. 65% of the ones sold still ran and drove. Runners with light damage sell toward the top of the range; non-runners, flood and fire cars sell toward the bottom.

Should I part out my wrecked 2005 Toyota Prius or sell it whole?

At a median of $325, selling whole usually wins: parting out takes months, and fees and the leftover shell eat most of the difference.

Can I sell a 2005 Toyota Prius with a salvage title?

Yes. Buyers of damaged cars handle salvage titles every day and price the brand in. A missing title narrows the pool of buyers more than a salvage brand does, and state rules decide who can buy a car without one.
