The median 2019 Prius sits at $20,888 in the Canadian market right now. Most listings land between $18,000 and $25,488, so anything under $18k deserves a hard look at why it's cheap, and anything past $25k needs a strong reason to justify the premium.
The typical car has about 115,000 km on it. That's your baseline for judging a price. A Prius near that number with a clean history is the reference point, and the rest of the market prices up or down from there.
What mileage does to the number
Every extra 10,000 km knocks roughly $625 off the asking price. So a car sitting at 155,000 km, 40,000 above the median, should run about $2,500 under a comparable one at 115,000. Flip that math around when a seller wants median money for a high-km car. The distance has to line up with the price.
We've flagged 5 deals on this model year in the last 90 days. A price in the low $18,000s on a car with median or lower mileage is where the value lives. Take the $20,888 midpoint, subtract for whatever's above 115,000 km, and you've got a fair-offer target you can defend.
