don't recall reading about anyone here. there's a guy from the u/k in another thread who bought a salvage battery, i wonder what the car looked like.
For some reason, everytime I am looking for a plug in and find be one that is not too ridiculous in price, it is a salvage title vehicle. 1 said it was only the fender and hood. Another said, something fell on the roof of the car, just a dent. Now the question: are Prius plug in that expensive to repair to the point that they are salvage titled? iPhone ?
all prius are expensive to repair, and there are a lot of salvage title lift backs. not sure it's more than other cars though. in fact, it might be less, because it takes more expertise to rebuild a wrecked prius.
Mechanically it's just a third generation Prius hatchback with an oversize battery. It ought to crash pretty much the same as any other gen III hatchback.
