Used Prius Selling Price

Created August 27, 2008, at 3:20 pm by Wlmbrock

Kind of an odd question so I didn't know where to post this but...

I was fortunate enough to have won a 2008 Toyota Prius. Base model. Awesome!

I don't have the car in hand yet and I'm trying to make plans on what route to take. Here the facts and questions for you all. I'm in IL. The Prius doesn't fit my lifestyle (need a larger car) so I will definitely not be able to keep it. I'd like your thoughts/opinions please...

--I'm going to try to work with the dealership to have them buy the car. Knowing that they are going to try to lowball me, about how much do you think they'd offer? I'm paying destination, registration, title, etc (if I have to buy it and sell it back). It would technically be a used car at that point but because of the demand, they could still make quite a bit of money on the deal.

--I'm contacting CarMax to see how much they'd give me.

--I'll consider a private party sale if the dealer route doesn't work to my satisfaction. How much do you think a 2008 used Prius with about 20 miles on it would go for?

Any insights are appreciated!

Most high value prize givers will give you the option of the prize or its cash equivalent instead. This is generally to save you from paying the required taxes (income and sales) and other costs you mention. Winning an item can actually cost you a lot of money in the long run. If you take the cash, you'll have some money to pay your extra income taxes with. Remember that the IRS considers prizes as income.
A friend of mine won a new Corolla from a radio station promotion a year ago. She took the cash - and quickly applied it to the purchase of a Camry Hybrid :-).
