hi guys, Any advice on where should I take the car for a health check? I live in Georgia,US. Will Firestone or PepBoys be able to check the battery health and hybrid drive train? Or should I take the car to a Toyota dealer to check for any problems before I buy it? TIA, Vasu
Why don't you buy a Gen II instead? Better and younger traction battery, and a Gen II with similar mileage* should be easy to find and equally affordable. *though, personally, I would try to get one below 100k miles so that you still have some warranty on the traction battery.
The gen1/gen2 decision is yours of course. In either case, A Toyota shop shop be able to provide you with the vehicle's official service records based on the VIN. This could be very useful to determine whether your chosen car is a good one.
Thanks for the tips guys! But the car tuned out to be in a nasty condition, so I didn't even take it for inspection. Will shop around for better ones!
