Decided to keep for my daughter. The Prius that won't quit. I bought this as the second owner at 98k. Now has 370k miles on it. I had Avi's Advanced Automotive put a brand new traction battery from Toyota it it at 286k, so about 84k miles ago. It runs and drives fine, with no check engine lights, etc. Has 4 good matching tires. Needs new shocks/struts. Paint is very faded and front windshield is cracked and needs to be replaced. Never been in an accident, other than a very minor bump in a parking lot, which pushed in the rear plastic bumper cover, but I was able to push it back out from the inside. Edit: the AC works, the electric door locks, not so much. The only issues I have ever had with this car were replacing the inverter coolant pump (twice) and replacing the passenger-side axleshaft assembly. Other than that, it has only needed engine oil, a couple of changes to the transaxle fluid, a couple of front brake jobs, and several sets of tires. $1500 obo. Thanks,
All it would take is one-way airfare and 3 long days of driving!! We did 5k miles family road trip in this car last summer.
If I didn't own a Prius already...and only really need one vehicle at a time, I think a Gen 1 Prius is "cool" vehicle to own. Whenever I see one in a parking lot, I go "What is that?" followed by...Oh it's a Prius...cool....
