    If you have an android phone, then a bluetooth odb2 w torque is very convenient to own. Check the engine air filter and clean the master air flow sensor.

    So iam bummed. The guy decided to still think about it since a buddy of his said 05 an 06 odysseys have tranny problems an they have to drop a ridgeline tranny in it to correct the problem. Now my 06 has 113k almost an my 05 has 130k never any tranny issues and if someone would of had them it would have been me with my 06 driving back an forth on the east coast from canada to florida. Anywho iam bummed was really looking forward to the 08 prius hopefully when the van sells it will still be available or someone else with a good prius in my area

    Yep. Carmax would be quick. You could probably get more selling it privately, but it depends on how long you can stand to wait. ;)

    I have not tried Carmax but how bad is the hit compared to a private sell?
    I have a Hummer H2 (go figure now I buy a Prius) that I may want to sell off.

    I've never investigated. I'm sure it's substantial. Probably similar to a trade in. But I don't imagine it's outrageous or people would stop using them.

    Im sure its a hard hit my leather inside is cracked and some parts are torn but i had seatcovers. I think it was like 2700 at honda fpr her because the inside is rough.

    I think you'll like Todd & Susan. He takes the time to really explain how to enjoy and get the most out of the car. If you remember, let him know Jerry Petersen sent you. I tell him that I'm always bragging on him. Won't hurt to have some independent confirmation. LOL!!

    Ok guys found a 07 prius 170k miles. We got the maintenance requored an the tired pressure lights on the dask. My question is could the maintenance light be on because of the tire pressure or is it other things all together?

    The maintenance light is a reminder for the regular maintenance. Perhaps time for oil and filter change. You could look online for Toyota's recommendations.

    In addition to the above post, the TPMS light could be on for a couple of reasons. The most obvious would be the air pressure in one or more tires is low. Another reason could be that at least one of the batteries in a TPMS sensor is weak or dead. At 10 years old that's a very real possibility. If you have a Discount Tire/America's Tire store near you they'll check the signal strength of the sensors for free.
