CL Advertisement Header: 05 Toyota Prius Hybrid Runs but Needs Motor Cheap 1295 obo - $1295 (Northeast) ============================================= This car appears to be the definition of a bad deal. At least the title is clean. LOL. I hope everyone gets a chuckle out of this ad.
Talk them down to $800, get a used engine for $700, replace modules or get a rebuilt battery $50-$995, replace 12v battery $230, detail inside and out $100, Less than $3k total (could be as low as $2k if battery only needs one or two modules). Could be a good deal for a mechanic!
