2005 with 42K

I think you'd be better off with a 09 w/72k if you could find one for the same money. O6 was a refresh that gave the Gen II a rear view camera in all models+ I don't know what all else is new in the later models, but I think batteries age whether they are used on not.......so it is your decision and I will admit to bering no "Expert" Good luck.

 

Way way to much money for a 2005 no matter how low the miles. You can buy an 09 with same miles close to that all day long.
Also with that low miles over 8 years means it was hardly used which does not bode well for the Hybrid battery.

But......if your hearts stuck on it spend $100 at the dealer and have them hook the Techstream laptop up to the OBDII and take it for a drive to check the Hybrid battery balance and SOC behavour. I would expect some corrosion on the battery buss bars with that mileage.

Not true. I've been in a very stripped down used 08 or 07 that had no backup camera (and no SKS, no aux in jack and the old style graphics on the MFD). My former coworker had bought it. I've posted about it before. 06 was the first year that the backup camera was available though.
