Showing results 1 - 24 of 74
76 Toyota Prius Prime lots for sale across 52+ Copart locations – model years 2017–2026, avg. mileage 69,000 mi. 8% clean title, 88% salvage; Front End is the top damage (61%). Bids start at $200, and recent Toyotas sold for a median winning bid around $4,200 before fees across the make.
The Prius Prime is too thin a pool here to pin its own sold-price median on, so the honest yardstick is the make-wide number: recent Toyotas sold for a median winning bid near $4,200 before fees. That figure is a rough guide rather than a promise, because the Prime carries a plug-in battery the regular hybrid doesn't, and buyers who know the car will pay up for one with a healthy pack – or walk from one that doesn't. Front End leads the live lots at 61%. Most of what does sell stays in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.
The Prime's defining part is its battery. Unlike the standard Prius, which carries a small hybrid pack, the Prime adds a larger lithium-ion plug-in battery under the rear cargo floor, good for around 25 miles of electric-only range when new – and that range shrinks as the pack ages, so ask for charging history or a battery-health readout if the seller has one. Rear-end damage and flood listings both deserve extra scrutiny on this car specifically, since the pack sits low and toward the back; a flood-damaged lot is one to walk from unless you're ready to replace the whole battery and charging hardware. Under the hood it's the same 1.8-liter Atkinson-cycle four as the regular Prius, well proven and rarely the expensive part of the car. The charge port and onboard charger are unique to the Prime, so confirm both are present and undamaged – they're not cheap to source used, and a car missing either is really just a hybrid with dead weight in the trunk. A shell too far gone for the road still sells for the drivetrain, battery and interior as a non-repairable Prius Prime lot.

FAQ
What condition are these Prius Primes in?
About 76 lots, 88% on a salvage title and the rest clean or rebuilt. Front End leads the damage board at 61%, and mileage averages about 69,000 on model years 2017–2026.
Is a salvage Prius Prime worth buying?
It can be, if the plug-in battery and charge port are intact – that's most of the car's value. There's no reliable model-specific median here; across Toyota the recent figure was around $4,200 before fees, but a Prime with a healthy pack is worth more than that suggests, and one with battery or charging damage is worth much less. Compare against a clean-title Prius Prime before you bid.
What should I check before bidding?
The plug-in battery and charge port first, especially on any rear-end or flood-listed lot. Ask for charging history if it's available. The engine and hybrid system match the regular Prius and rarely cause trouble. Cross-check the title brand against the photos.
Can I insure and register a salvage Prius Prime?
Only after it's rebuilt and passes a state inspection – then most insurers will cover it, just not the company that totaled it. While it's salvage-titled it can't be road-registered. Check with your insurer before you bid.
How does the auction work?
Register free, no dealer license. Set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
How do I check a Prius Prime's history?
Every lot shows the VIN, damage type and title brand. Run the VIN through a vehicle-history report for prior accidents, mileage and title events before you commit.
What are good alternatives to the Prius Prime?
The regular Prius costs less if you don't need plug-in range. Outside Toyota, the Hyundai Ioniq and Kia Niro plug-in variants cover similar ground.
