The median 2012 Prius V in the Canadian market sits at $10,995. That's your anchor. Half the cars trade above it, half below, and the typical spread runs from $9,250 to $12,995. Anything landing inside that band is priced where the market says it should be.
The median car has 199,000 km on it. So a 12-year-old wagon carrying close to 200,000 km is the normal case here, not the outlier. When you see one of these, expect that kind of odometer reading and price it accordingly.
What to actually pay
If a listing asks below $9,250, dig into why. Could be higher mileage, could be needed work, could be a genuine deal. Above $12,995 and the seller is betting on low km or condition doing the talking, so make them prove it before you agree to the premium.
We've flagged 3 of these as deals across Canada in the last 90 days. Not a flood. If one of them fits what you want and it's near the low end of that range, it's worth moving on rather than waiting for a cheaper one that may not show up.
