    Sadly selling our daughter's 2001 Prius.

    When daughter was recently driving home from college, warning lights came on and she limped to nearest dealer- although car was driving fine. Throwing code P3009, which usually indicates MG2 issue in transaxle. After car hauler ride home, and code reset, I can drive around and no code showing.
    I have to guess transaxle is on verge of failing. I would fix this myself if I had garage space and time, but I currently don't.

    New Toyota OEM Hybrid Battery at 122k
    When replaced, I cleaned all the busbars, connections, etc.
    New Aux battery last winter
    New Power Steering Rack at 135k
    New Struts at 135k
    New front wheel bearings at 123k
    New Cooper all-season tires at 125k
    Body fair, interior average, no major accidents.
    I've changed oil religiously with Mobil 1 at 6K intervals, plugs replaced at 100k, throttle body and
    injectors cleaned regularly and all fluids replaced at 100k

    Have a Prius with a bad hybrid battery- here's your perfect donor parts car!
    Lots of other good parts on this car (see above)!

    Have title in hand, cash only please.
    $1800 OBO and I'll include a OEM service repair manual set with it too.
