Separate names with a comma.
Yeah, I almost bought a Gen 3 last year but read too many horror stories about them here and elsewhere, so I was scared off them. Can't a afford a...
That's a good point, thanks. Seems similar to what happens with the housing market ever 10 years or so. Might be good to just wait a while.
I'd be comfortable with something under 100k and a newish hybrid battery, and not gobbling oil. But I guess those are getting harder to find...
I'm guessing the cat is the original, and that the battery is whatever Toyota typically sends authorized repair garages (rebuilt, I think?). But...
Here's the scoop: 180k miles Newish hybrid battery replaced around 30k miles ago Burning around 2 quarts of oil every 1,000 miles Mechanic said...
Good point, though seller claims that all maintenance has been kept up and done at Toyota, and that it had a recent check-up. The door damage...
Craigslist, natch. It's hard to find any that are decent around here, at least for a good price. I just read that used car prices have gone up...
I'm not too bothered about dents on the door, and don't care much if the bumper matches. How easy are they to fit?
Seller has now clarified 2 minor accidents, strictly cosmetic. I don't have the skills or knowledge to work on cars, unless it's fairly basic....
1. 2007, 123k miles. Hybrid battery replaced at 85k. Recent service and check-up at Toyota dealer -- but needs new windshield and new front...
Okay, you guys convinced me (y). I'll keep looking. Even "normal" cars are high mileage, over-priced, and seem few and far between these...
So I asked for more details about the service history and he said "every recall and all maintenance were handled immediately," and "there have...
So even a Gen2 with with that kind of mileage would be better? Not that I'm seeking them out, but it seems every one that's advertised lately has...
I'm looking at a clean Prius that had one owner. It's been well cared for, with all the maintenance done at the dealer. The guy is selling it...
Oh, good to know. I didn't realize there was that much difference. Reliability is the most important thing for me.
Yeah, waiting for something with lower mileage might be the best option - it's just that I need a car and so little has come up in the 6 weeks...
Hi all. I've owned two Gen 2 Prii, and am looking for another (or possibly a Gen 3). The only ones I've been able to find locally (in NM) are...
I may be wrong, but I think the car has to have been originally purchased in a CARB state? Unfortunately the cheapest around here, though. One...
Another strange thing - I've read about people installing these batteries in half an hour or so (like the guys on ebay who will go anywhere in the...
Okay, done deal. The authorized dealer here in Santa Fe (Beaver Toyota) actually had a battery in stock and were able to install it today. They...
