Here are some real, nearby options and places to check right now around Fremont / Toledo — plus how they line up with your “sweet spot” (2020–2022 Prius with modern features).





🚗 Local dealers to check (Toledo / Fremont area)




1.

Yark Toyota



  • One of the largest Toyota dealers in the area

  • Regularly carries used Prius inventory (including newer models)

  • Good place for:


    • Certified pre-owned (safer buy)

    • 2020–2022 trims with CarPlay







2.

Germain Toyota of Toledo



  • Strong used inventory, often newer models

  • More likely to have:


    • XLE / Limited trims

    • Cars with blind spot monitoring + safety packages







3.

Baumann Auto Group



  • Closer to you

  • Smaller inventory, but sometimes:


    • better pricing

    • local trade-ins (less picked over)







4.

Thayer Honda



  • Not Toyota, but worth checking

  • Often gets Prius trade-ins






🔎 Example current listing (to calibrate price)



  • A used 2024 Prius Limited listed around $23,800 with ~49k miles

  • Another 2025 Prius Limited listed about $25,500



👉 This tells us something important:


  • Your target 2020–2022 models will likely fall around


    👉 $22K–$27K depending on miles and trim






🎯 What to search for (very specifically)



When you call or search inventory, use this exact filter:


  • Year: 2020, 2021, 2022

  • Trim: XLE or Limited

  • Keywords to confirm:


    • Apple CarPlay

    • Blind Spot Monitoring

    • Toyota Safety Sense







🧠 Local market insight (important)



  • Used hybrids like Prius are still in demand

  • Prices have softened slightly recently, especially for hybrids

  • But:


    • Good ones sell quickly

    • Listings may stay online after being sold (common issue)




👉 So calling is better than just browsing





⚠️ One smart buying tip (from real owners)



From Prius owner discussions:


“Pre-purchase inspection is highly recommended… check battery health”


👉 Translation:


  • Always check hybrid battery condition

  • Or buy certified pre-owned if you want less risk






🧭 My practical advice for you



Given everything we discussed:


👉 Do this in order:


  1. Start with


    • Yark Toyota

    • Germain Toyota of Toledo


  2. Ask:


    • “Do you have any 2020–2022 Prius XLE or Limited with CarPlay?”


  3. If nothing good:


    • Expand to Cleveland area (bigger inventory)

    • Example: Westside Toyota offers a larger used selection







🏁 Bottom line



  • 👍 You’re targeting the exact right years (2020–2022)

  • 📍 Toledo area does have inventory, but it’s limited

  • 🚗 Expect:


    • ~$23K–$27K

    • Must move quickly when a good one appears






If you want, I can pull 2–3 very specific live listings (actual cars with mileage, trim, etc.)—just tell me:


  • your max budget

  • max mileage you’d accept

  • whether you want AWD or not (some Prius have it after 2019)
