    I'm finally selling my 2001 Prius. I've had it since 2013. It now has around 230,000 miles on it and it's not presently running. Just got the dreaded triangle of death with a 3191 code. Tried different things including installing a brand new ECM. Still nothing. I've been wanting to go EV anyway, so now is a good time to sell. Below are some good reasons to buy this car.

    1. Installed brand new Toyota hybrid battery in 2016. I still have the receipt. At the new battery installation I added a Prolong battery charger and I've been topping off the battery religiously every three months as recommended. Of course the charger comes with it.

    2. A new 12 volt battery installed about three months ago.

    3. A brand new air conditioner compressor installed around a year ago.

    4. Tires are in excellent condition. Relatively new.

    5. Interior is perfect. The exterior has a few bumps and scratches, but there is no rust. It is always garaged.

    6. Just installed a brand new ECM thinking that was my problem. Turns out it wasn't. So you get a new and used (and seemingly good) ECM's.

    7. The engine runs perfectly. I always change oil around 5,000 miles and always use synthetic oil.

    Asking $2,500.00 but will listen to all offers. The hybrid battery alone is probably worth that.

    Have you cleaned the throttle body and mass air sensor? Other tips in this video:

    Location & pictures are generally a good idea when listing cars for sale online…

    Austin TX as per his profile in the left column. Check the for sale section for pictures as that is where an ad should be placed.

    Not interested, just pointing out the obvious.

    No one can see profile info on mobile.
