4 hours away from me so I'm not gonna get it, so pointing it out if someone else wants it.

This car, running, but fender damaged might retail for $3,000 even with 200k. The ad has a price of $500 but stated the price could be negotiated. This is a seller who just wants the car to go away. Do them the favor!
Craptastic pictures. There seems to be some rear fender damage but picture stops before you can really see.
Broken mirror is a non-issue, $50 repair and 15 minutes.
Broken hatch handle is easy repair with replacement handle, I'll guess also $50
Ad says drivable but not dependable. The drivable part gives me hope. The not dependable points to an un-handy owner.
Says engine shakes???? Could be mounts but if it is a whole bad engine, low mileage units off car-part are $300.
If the whole car is not worth it, verify that it's wearing the original catalytic converter and that is worth $1k as scrap! Exit strategy.
Digging into car-part, this place in Traverse is showing 5 Gen2 Prius in stock: https://genesautoparts.com/ They do not state the miles on the cars but the engines are all $300, but, I really doubt it needs an engine. Shaking could just be a bad coil.
