Potential first Prius owner here. A 2015 Prius v Three has popped up nearby, sold by a dealer. Advertised price is $16,736 for the vehicle. 57,706 miles. Trying to figure out where the line is in terms of a good price. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Should have added originally: Carfax reports one minor accident, about 2 months ago, and about a month before the vehicle was sold. Left front of vehicle, no airbags deployed. No structural damage reported. Being sold as a certified used hybrid with following: 12-month/12,000-mile Comprehensive Warranty 174-Point Quality Assurance Program 8-year/100,000-mile Factory Hybrid Vehicle Battery Warranty
Can you get access to the repair paperwork to see exactly what was repaired, what was replaced, what was measured to see if there was structural damage? I've been in a frontal accident where the airbag did not deploy, I had no injuries and yet the car was totaled with over $35k of repairs needed. And in another which I thought worse and yet the repair was $1.3k and there wasn't a bit of sheet metal damage. The devil is in the details.
Yes, I am going to ask for that. In the interim, it passed a state safety inspection about 6 weeks later and was certified by the dealer for their new warranties a little over 2 months later. No structural damage reported on the Carfax, but of course that's "reported"...
This is my first experience with Toyota. Is it unnecessarily optimistic to think they have certified it despite the accident because the accident was so insignificant? Given that they've put their own warranties on it.
What does the warranty cover? The car is still covered for battery from the factory. Is there more coverage? Who issues a warranty on a 3 year old 57k miles car that has been in an accident?
If it would pass a four wheel alignment I would think that would cover any structural damage to the car. I would ask for one and it wouldn't hurt anyway.
