I went to Nevada a few weeks ago from the Bay Area and bought a very clean car at about 60% of what I would have paid for a similar Craigslist listing here in the Bay Area. If you are willing to travel a bit the deals are out there to be had.
On that note, back in 2015 I found a nice gentlemen in Los Angeles who was a Prius enthusiast who would drive over to Phoenix/AZ and buy used ones, drive them over to LA and privately re-sell them. The Prius I bought from him (2005 model) is still being driven by my father five years later.
Where exactly in Nevada? Close to the border at Lake Tahoe or further in some really small town?
