    Found a 2019 Prius used by a company. 280k miles on it. Well maintained. Single owner for $12k.
    Obviously, my concern is the miles on it. I want it to last at least 5+ years.
    With moderate driving, do you think that's viable with this car?

    I'd immediately do EVERYTHING maintenance wise for it. IE: Waterpump/Thermostat, Plugs, fuel injectors, coolant, oil, CVT flushes done. $12k IS a bit high, I would say 9-10k MAYBE..they are really good engines, but...early life maintenance will determine your experience with it.

    The only way I would consider it would be if it had verifiable maintenance records showing aggressive preventative maintenance (such as 6 months/5 k mile oil changes, coolant changes, brake fluids, etc). And by verifiable I mean Via Toyota or at least sales receipts from a local dealer.

    I still wouldn't touch that car unless it was like $5k. A corporate car driven by whoever that had 70k miles a year put on it.....hard pass at that price.
