I have bought and sold on Copart and iaai.com and truthfully it is very hit and miss with the majority being misses. I was aiming at light/medium body or mechanical damage. Source: 6 months ago
I've had luck going to the insurance auctions around the country and finding deals on the Prius's for 30-40% of blue book value. The best deals are the repos and theft recoveries bc there is usually no damage.

Go through all the screens and at the end you'll get to a screen where it asks your email and name (I just used a disposable email in the off chance they spam) and it will show you a title check report that checks against the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS). It might give you info about what the gray/blue is referring to. As far as I know,... Source: 11 months ago

It could have been sold anywhere. Dealers frequently trade cars with other dealerships or sell them at auctions. See when/where it was last sold https://vincheck.info/. Source: about 1 year ago
