Sell my Toyota Prius
Your Toyota Prius (2004–2024) is a hybrid hatchback — and in San Diego County there is always another buyer for one that runs. Skip the listing, the messages, and the no-shows: one intake, one clear offer, free pickup.

Second- and third-generation Prius converters contain valuable metals and are a well-known theft target in California. Sellers often sell after a theft rather than pay for a California-compliant replacement and any damaged exhaust or wiring.
On high-mileage XW20 and ZVW30 cars the original hybrid pack can lose capacity, triggering warning lights and reduced fuel economy. Many owners sell rather than replace individual modules or the full pack.
Some 2010–2011 Prius 1.8-liter engines use oil between changes, a documented issue linked to piston rings. Owners facing engine work on an older hybrid often choose to sell instead.
Higher-mileage second-generation cars can develop a failing combination meter that blanks the dash display, and ABS brake actuator problems are also known on older Prius. Either fault can prompt a sale rather than a repair on a low-value car.
Every one of these is a condition answer on the form — report it and it is priced in from the start, never discovered at pickup.
Year, make, model, mileage, and where it sits. A VIN speeds things up but is not required to start, and the pickup address tells us which local run the car joins.
Wheels, battery, key, whether it starts and drives, the catalytic converter, and the rest — the same checklist our buyer verifies in person, so the offer is built on the car you actually have.
We review every application by hand and send one offer, guaranteed for 7 days when the car matches its description. Accept it and pickup is free anywhere in San Diego County.
Sedans, SUVs, and vans from any maker, clean or with fixable issues.
Battery, glass, panels, and exterior damage from the 12-point checklist — each priced in plainly.
Pickups are the top of our want list — working trucks, high-mileage trucks, Japanese trucks included.
Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Subaru hold up in Southern California, and we price them that way.
We buy the cars the big guys reject — but we are not a junk buyer. These fall outside this buying program, and we would rather tell you now than waste your time:
The second-generation XW20 Prius (2004–2009) made the liftback shape famous, followed by the third-generation ZVW30 (2010–2015) with a 1.8-liter engine. The fourth-generation XW50 (2016–2022) added the TNGA platform and available all-wheel drive, and the sleeker fifth-generation XW60 arrived for 2023 with much stronger hybrid output.
Almost all Prius sold here are front-wheel-drive hybrids, with AWD-e offered on later fourth-generation cars. The hatchback body and fold-flat seats make it practical despite its compact footprint.
High mileage alone does not disqualify a Prius. If it starts, drives, and has a working key, report the mileage honestly in the form and we will price the whole car, not just the odometer.
It comes down to the individual car: year, mileage, trim, and the 12 condition answers. We review every application by hand and send one clear offer, guaranteed for 7 days when the car matches its description — no automated lowball and no haggling at the curb.
Yes. Smog failure is one of the 12 condition answers, so the offer accounts for it up front. You do not need to pay for diagnosis, repairs, or a retest before pickup.
Our buyer checks the VIN, title, mileage, and the same condition items you submitted for your Prius. If everything matches, you sign the transfer paperwork, receive payment, and hand over the keys — and the tow is free in San Diego County.
Complete one vehicle intake, see your offer, and arrange free local pickup. No obligation, and no strangers coming to your door.
