Hello everyone. Just wanted to jump on the board and say hello and hope I can contribute as much as I can as a new used 2009 prius owner. She has a hefty 179000 miles atm. I CHOSE this one over a 2012 and 2015 because of the price and 2. Because I heard somewhere on reddit this generation were built like tanks lol.. I do not know if that's true or not. Either way I got it for 6500 before taxes. I took it for snow tire installation today and found out the rear suspension sensor is rusted? I don't know what other discoveries will come from that but I also have a exhaust leak... other than that it's been pretty reliable and I'm comfortable with it. I'll post pics up soon when light is out again. BTW toyota service centers have an average wait time until January here where I live.
congrats and welcome! that's likely the headlight leveling system: 166444_Rear_Axle_Beam_and_Stabilizer_Bar.pdf keep an eye on your engine oil level for awhile. all the best!
