Hello everyone, New to the forum. I'm looking to get my first Prius ever and would love some advice/suggestions. I'm from Oklahoma City but willing to drive to Dallas, Amarillo, Kansas City, Omaha, etc. to find the right Prius. There's a couple Prius' in Dallas but there is a rebuilt engine 2006 Prius in Oklahoma City who's asking $2995 with 73,000 miles on the rebuilt engine. This forum won't let me link the craigslist page but you can easily find it. Opinions on rebuilt Prius' and what I need to ask/look for? Thanks for anyone willing to help!
There's no way of you knowing if the engine has 73,000 miles. and you'll be driving a hell of a long way to find out it doesn't drive well
Well, for the rebuilt engine, my concerns would be; 1. Were OEM parts used for the rebuilt? If you don't know the answer to the questions, there might be a problem. You could find out from the seller. I hope he'd be willing to disclose such info to you though 2. Was the installation procedures done correctly? PS: There must have being something fishy about the engine, before the rebuilt, and it would be nice the seller provide you with all maintenance/repair details/records, so you could make informed decisions. But if you're OK, with the costs, and would want to dabble into the unknown, sure, y not! Dxta
