    Hello All, I always like to have a Toyota Prius for a long time but never had the opportunity to purchase one because I have a 2003 Toyota Camry that I commute with. Over the weekend, my Camry that I alway park in the street in my front of my house was hit and totaled. I got a good settlement and took the opportunity to look and by a 2006 Prius with 153K miles.

    Now, I'm looking forward on having my Prius for a long time and I know my concern is the battery

    If the battery is a concern, you can change it out for a newer one. Then you'll be good for years to come. I did that with my 2005 when I bought it and now it's driven worry free

    I recently had to replace my battery. It was expensive but I plan on keeping my prius for a very long time. You can make observations on the battery and report here. Usually the people here can make educated guesses as to how much longer the battery will last just by how its charging and discharging.
