My Local Salvage Yard Bought A 2006 Prius At Auction And Has It For Sale.
They are very rare around here and it caught my attention. It must have come from far away (no rust). It is silver and immaculate inside and outside (looks like it’s new and was well-cared for and has mostly “highway miles”). It’s got 220,000 miles on it, but the owner has made several runs with it of hundreds of miles and has found nothing wanting.
I actually looked it over and couldn’t figure out “what a nice car like that is doing in a place like this” . That’s when I discovered it was from auction and knowing this place I’m sure they didn’t pay much and I also figured the “catch” was high miles. It was. Somebody probably dumped it thinking it was going to start costing big bucks to maintain or become unreliable.
When I started asking questions the guy I talked to, manning the “office” (stretching the definition of that word) couldn’t find the asking price, but I would guess it’s quite low. Now you guys have me curious. Maybe I’ll give 'em a call.
