    Local dealer in PA is offering an 05 prius with 28k miles for 12,922. History shows it was bought and kept by dealer. Any concerns when buying this old of a prius with such low miles?

    Thanks

    not really, sounds like a great find. price might be a little high, but maybe not for the low miles. what does the dealer say they've been doing with it? coutesy car, rental? all the best!(y)

    I would say it's a bit high also. If u could get them down 2k or so and some kind of warranty.

    I could easily have it for $10K. The mileage is so low I wouldn't think the battery would be an issue. I'm just worried about buying an older prius even though the mileage is ridiculously low. Thanks

    once your out of warranty, there are a few expensive repairs, but they are rare and nearly unheard of at that mileage.
