    Hey guys!

    I'm currently living in New Zealand, and want to buy my first Prius.

    I'm looking on this one:

    Toyota PRIUS *NEW SHAPE* 2010 | Trade Me

    That Prius is imported from Japan (Is very common here, as the cars are cheaper there)

    Question:

    How many KM does the battery last? Just remember that is KM and not Miles


    Thanks
    Lucas

    typically, around 150,000 miles, so that would be about 240,000 km. what is the hybrid warranty there?

    Don't think that there is a warranty - Only in new cars.....

    I am confused if 2010 is Gen2 or 3 in NZ/Japan (looks like Gen3). We've had very few Gen3 batt failures yet so we do not really know if they'll be better or worse than Gen2. This vehicle seems relatively low miles so looks good from batt perspective, on the surface, who knows if has been tortured by high heat in its prior life.
