    Looking for a Prius 07-15 in the NJ area preferably for under 3500 for a commuter car. I put 40k on my 2018 in 1 year so I need a cheap commuter to get by for a while. Preferably white gray or silver.

    I bumped my price to 5k to see what that would get me. All 12 I saw in person had so many issues.

    The "2018" is not a Prius, or is? And your avatar says you have a 2010, or that's just your target?

    For $6k you can have my 2012 PiP with 180k on it. Got a new PiP to stay in the carpool lane in CA. Have all service records back to my purchase in 2015, or 120k miles. Always serviced on time. Its lowered, tinted windows, and 17" ct200h wheels. Interior is pretty mint. But it's in CA.

    Regular. Bought a PiP from out of state. However, the ARB just released the list of all the VINs that have been registered for a sticker so you can check any car you are looking at buying. There are some PiPs out there that can still get stickers. I bought one from VA, and then found one 3 miles from my house that can get stickers. Same price though.

    Thanks. It’s been fun getting this thing back to full working form. I even started a spreadsheet to keep track of all costs

    The water pump is actually the ABS actuator that is mislabeled.
