2001 Prius in London, Ontario $1,500

Just bought a 2005 Prius to replace this car. I've had it for 2.5 years and have driven it 80,000 km. Would drive it anywhere without hesitation.

Car has 220,000 km. Cosmetically pretty rough, several small dents/scratches and some rust around the wheel wells. No tears in the interior, but far from spotless.

The bad:
- needs a front wheel bearing replaced. I have the bearing but haven't gotten around to having it installed
- fuel filler pipe needs replacement - see recent thread in the gen 1 forum - there is a hole at the top which I have temporarily fixed with rubberized tape but it really should be replaced.
- cable for fuel filler door is broken, I put tape on the latch so it's just a friction closing
- Connection of cables to traction battery is a bit dodgy. I rebuilt the battery and broke off the connection bolt, and ended up improvising by through-bolting the connections. Solid connection that I've been driving with for six months no issues, but should mention it.

The good:
- no mechanical issues other than noted above. Fluids regularly changed, no maintenance overdue. New spark plugs. Transmission seems fine, motor doesn't consume oil. Brakes and suspension are fine.
- hybrid battery rebuilt by me with gen2 cells earlier this year. I bought two complete used batteries and picked the best cells. Battery performance is perfect.
- new 12v battery a year or so ago.
- two sets of wheels - OEM wheels with all season tires in OK condition and newer steel wheels with Michelin winter tires excellent condition.

Selling as is but don't expect that there would be any issues with certification.

Will post some pictures here in the next day or two. Drop me a note with any questions. Jeff
