Hey there guys, I'm checking out a 2005 Prius with 143k miles on it. It was apparently a florida car and my main question for the community is whether or not 143,000 miles is significant for a prius of this generation. I just thought I'd check in and get your input before making an offer. Here is the link to the vehicle: 2005 Toyota Prius Base Hatchback 4-Door | eBay I'm not too worried about the dents in the front right the car has a clean title so these dents really just act to lower the price for me as I'm not too interested in style points. Thanks!
I plan to keep it until 250,000 miles and maybe 3 or 4 years or obviously as long as it would probably run. This would be a second car used for commuting to work and longer trips to keep miles off of my sports car to be honest. I'd be willing to pay about 1000/yr to keep it running.
that should work. just keep in mind there's always the small chance that something quite expensive could go.
Yeah, absolutely. But that's a risk we all take with used vehicles. Thank you for your input, disco. Good night!
Looks like it might be a fair price for that one. As Bisco said, there is always a certain amount of risk. I think I'd try to get the price down a little, but that's actually pretty close to prices here.
