One badge on five Toyotas. Five different sales.
A hybrid badge on the back is the one thing these cars have in common, and it is close to the least useful thing about selling one of them.
What moves the number is which one it is and how it has lived, so that is what we ask about and what the inspector goes and looks at.

The five with pages
Start on the page for the one you actually have
- Sell your Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
- Already quoted over the phone by somebody who never saw the car, which happens to this one more than most. What is left of a number like that once a person is standing in front of it.
- Sell your Toyota RAV4 Plug-in
- The one that plugs in, and the one most often described, listed and quoted as the other one. Start there if the badge on the back of yours says plug in.
- Sell your Toyota Camry Hybrid
- The one that may well have worked for a living before it was yours, sold by somebody who bought it second hand and has no way of knowing either way.
- Sell your Toyota Corolla Hybrid
- Often sold by somebody other than the person who drove it, which is where these get slow. Getting the names on the paperwork to agree is the first job rather than the last.
- Sell your Toyota Kluger Hybrid
- Seven seats, and a third row that has either never been up or has been up every day of its life. Those are two different cars and that page reads both honestly.
The full Toyota list
Every Toyota we buy, grouped by what it actually is
Battery electric, plug in, hybrid and mild hybrid all sit in the one list below, and the car in your driveway is somewhere in it.
Battery electric
- bZ4X
Plug in hybrid
- RAV4 Plug-in
- Prius Plug-in
Hybrid
- Corolla Hybrid
- Corolla Cross Hybrid
- Camry Hybrid
- RAV4 Hybrid
- Kluger Hybrid
- C-HR Hybrid
- Yaris Hybrid
- Yaris Cross Hybrid
- Prius
- Prius c
- Prius v
Mild hybrid
- Hilux 48V
The bZ4X has no page of its own here, and neither do the Corolla Cross Hybrid, the C-HR Hybrid, the Yaris Hybrid, the Yaris Cross Hybrid, the Prius nameplates, the Prius Plug-in or the Hilux 48V. Not one of those is a car we want less. Choose yours by name in the form at the top of this page, and what we need to begin with is the year, the kilometres and an honest word about the condition. Everything after that gets said out loud rather than typed into a box.
Most people scroll past a list like that one, and it is the part of this page that quietly answers what they arrived uncertain about. A car does not have to be an electric one to belong here. If the badge on the back of yours is up there somewhere, it counts, and nobody is asking you to work out in advance which category a stranger would file it under.
One badge, five conversations
The thing they have in common is the thing that matters least
Five different sales arrive wearing the same word on the back of the car, which is how a hybrid Toyota ends up filed rather than looked at.
Anybody who has sold a car knows the feeling of being quoted on a category instead of on a car. Read the badge, put the car in the file it belongs to, apply the number that goes with that file, move on. It is quick and it is not dishonest, and it is almost never the number your particular car had coming. The five Toyotas listed above are where it happens most, because the filing is done off a word and that word cannot tell one of them from another.
Set the five beside each other and the filing falls apart. A Kluger is usually being sold by a family who still need seven seats, so its third row has either never gone up or has gone up every single day, and those two cars wear in completely different places. A Corolla is very often being sold by somebody who was not the one driving it, which turns the sale into a question of whose name is on what and who has to be there on the day. A Camry carries a question about what it did before it came to you, and half the people selling one cannot answer it. A RAV4 Hybrid tends to arrive with a figure already in the seller's hand from somebody who never saw the car. The RAV4 Plug-in is not the same vehicle as the RAV4 Hybrid at all, and it spends its life being priced as though it were. One badge, five conversations, and the only way to have the right one is to know which car is in front of you.
So this is a routing page and it says so plainly. Pick yours above and the questions get specific to it, which is the whole reason those pages exist. What does not change from one to the next is the part we control. The inspector comes to your home or your work rather than the car spending a day somewhere else. Anything still owing is settled directly with the financier, including a novated lease, and if the payout is more than the car is worth you get that shortfall in writing before you sign anything. The paperwork happens on your phone. And the number we talk about on the call is the number we want still standing when somebody is standing beside the car, which is why we would rather hear the awkward parts from you first.
Two questions
Two things people want settled first
There are five Toyotas with a page here. What if mine is not one of them?
It changes nothing. Every Toyota on the list above is one we buy, and the five with pages of their own are simply the ones somebody has sat down and written about first. Name yours in the form, tell us the year and roughly what it has done, and it goes through exactly what the five above it go through.
Do I have to know what kind of hybrid mine is?
No, and plenty of owners do not. Tell us the name on the back and the year it was built and we will work out the rest between us on the call. If you are not certain, say so rather than guessing, because a guess is the one thing that can send an inspector out expecting a different car.
Tell us which Toyota it is and we will take it from there.
No obligation. Send the car details through and we call you back with a real price range.
