2006 prius 31,000 miles

How rusty is it?

 

it's mint believe it or not. spent its whole life in the barn and has the custom plastic bedliner. nothing but oil and filters. needs a good detailing, and i suppose someone will say 13+ year old tires should be replaced. oem battery stays on a maintainer.

 

If you have the money to buy it and a new battery, I say buy it, who knows the battery might last a couple more years.

 

Not necessarily - I reckon if I buy a car when I'm say 74 yrs old, it'll be 12 years old with 50,000km when I stop driving at 86 yrs old. That's about how Dad's Camry's last 12 years were. Church, doctor, pharmacy, corner store.

 

We are talking hybrids here with batteries and electronic brakes. Not regular cars. They last about the timeframe this car has lasted
