    I am looking at a 2013 V to buy and on the service records it says the blend/diverter door actuator was replaced and the A/c refrigerant was recharged back in 2021. Then two years later it was sold. It looks like the oil was changed about every 5K miles. It doesn't appear to look as though the car has been sitting for a period of time.

    Is this an okay car to buy given if the hybrid battery checks out?

    By the way it is super easy to scam a buyer with head gasket sealer to flip a 2010-2014 Prius with the common hg failure. About a month later the sad truth leads the disappointed buyer to Priuschat.

    Are door actuators related to head gaskets?
