It is so hard for me to find out much a bout a Pruis I (one). I don't know if they are bad or good or if the mpg is the same and all that. It looks okay. One owner on a lease, good carfax, from a dealer. Just looks basic. No bells and whistles. I am mostly concerned with mpg. It must have that. I also have a 2005 with 87k for 10,500. I think it is the "base." I can't tell from the picture. What do you think? I can pay either, but 15 is top of my budget. I don't want to pay 15 for a sub-par Prius. I can't find others in the right range right now, so please only consider those two. Please. Thanks.
Can you tell me why? I don't want to make a mistake again edit: I found this. Thanks again, Prius I, and Other News | PriusChat I'll pass and be more careful before I post.
I would say that 15K is too much for a striped Prius I. Offer them 12K and walk out if they don't accept it. What year model is the car (2010)? What state do you live in? That makes a big difference in price. There are only a few Prius I's around since they were not sold retail in the US. It should be a nice car if you ONLY care about the mileage.
I'm thinking that a G3-I (2010 "one") is going to be missing a lot of features that even I would call necessary for daily driving in 2013. Are you sure that it's not a II? IIRC, the 2010 I was a fleet-only car that was absolutely stripped. Many people who do not know much about Priuses make the understandable presumption that a base model is a I. I actually drive a fleet G3, and it's a II. A I is like a unicorn. I've heard of them, and I think I could recognize but I've never actually seen one, and I'm sometimes dubious if they really exist. For the money I think I'd go for a higher mileage G3 (2010-) especially if you live in a CARB state (look it up.) Good Luck! ???? Your info says that, like me, you have a 2010-II.
Used 2010 Toyota Prius I in Atlanta, GA Area - Rick Case Mazda Duluth That is the car. I'm not sure what it is. The guy said it just said "hatchback."
nothing wrong with prius I, they are simply missing a few features of the II. i think they are fleet cars IIRC, if you can live without the features, go for it.
I looked at the Carfax info and found something. There are two records of Toyota dealers buying and selling the car the past 2-3 months. Now it's for sale from a Mazda dealer. The question is why did the Toyota dealers wholesale off the car? The price is too high to take a chance on there being hidden problems.
