2013 Toyota Prius value

By Hari Vinayak · Updated 2026-06-12

Quick answer

A 2013 Toyota Prius in good condition with average mileage (about 162,500 miles) is worth roughly $5,950 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $5,450 to $6,450, or about $6,850 at a dealer. Note: 2013 is a flagged year for this model (2010–2014) — Gen 3's EGR-clogging-to-head-gasket pipeline and $2,000+ brake actuator failures. The riskiest Prius era by far. Expect to pay at the lower end and budget for that risk.

What to check before you pay

  • 2010–2015: EGR system clogs with carbon, raising combustion temps — a known path to head gasket failure; cold-start rattle or misfire is the warning sign
  • 2010–2015: brake actuator failure — listen for an abnormal pump noise and check for ABS/brake warning lights
  • Catalytic converter theft is rampant — look underneath for shiny welds or aftermarket cats, which can fail emissions
