I read somewhere that a salvaged car loses half of it's KBB value. So if this car is in good to excellent condition (looks to be very clean from the pics ad has), then rationally I can ask for $5000 without feeling I'm lowballing.
I forgot to mention that the hood, bumper, and fender are Taiwanese aftermarket parts and not genuine Toyota. I know nothing about the 2nd-generation Prius model but do know that it has Toyota reliability and good mileage. I would jump on a Prius simply for that since I don't think gas price is going down. If I can find a great deal then I will get one over a sport 2-seater, which is what my heart wants.

PPI = pre-purchase inspection. Get one done at an indy of YOUR choice (who knows, seller could be in bed with theirs) and then you can get a good idea of what you're looking at. Personally I wouldn't touch a prius, the batteries eventually need to be replaced since they wear out ($$$) and the manufacturing process pretty well defeats the "green" aspect. I'm also biased a bit toward diesels
