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 Roger

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.

I wouldn't worry about the battery. Replacement rates are very low for Prius, at 4%. 2015 Subaru Outback and Legacy | Video Review - Consumer Reports If you were still driving your Camry, it's more likely it would need a new transmission than a Prius needing a new battery.
