    Carma, 2001 Toyota Prius, "Electric Green Mica" hybrid, first Prius model in the USA, with the distinctive trunk, for sale, local pickup only, cash only, $2,000, cross-posted.

    About 213,000 miles of use, ready to drive as is, or fix her up as a collector's car.

    Front wheel drive, CVT (continuously variable transmission), dash mounted "Synergy Drive" lever, center dash speedometer, rolling fuel economy data and energy flow status on screen.

    Original aluminum wheels, owner's and Hayne's manuals, cassette/CD player, cool AC, even original antenna.

    I rarely see any of this model still rolling around in this area, so you could call it "rare."

    With some practice and the right conditions, she can get remarkably high fuel economy.

    I am the owner, with clear title in hand.

    Bought from Carmax, Raleigh NC, in 2007, for $14,000, at about 60,000 miles.

    I have most of her records showing great care by Scott Clark's Toyota and Mike Allen , including:

    21Mar-24Aug06 hybrid battery resealed by recall, new crankshaft position sensor by recall
    4Apr-5May07 new ECU and new fuel tank/pump assembly by warranty
    27Oct08 inverter coolant serviced
    14Jul09 new door lock actuator, new console dash panel/circuit board/screen, new hybrid battery
    15Aug11 new electronic power steering unit by recall
    15Jul13 new MAF sensor
    13Jul13 new 12V battery
    25Oct13 brake pads and service
    19Apr14 A/C recharged
    May2015 new catalytic converter
    23Jun16 new sway bar links
    24Jan17 new right rear hub and bearing
    Dec2016 4 new Yokohama tires

    Oil serviced every 5,000 miles, by Scott Clark's (Charlotte), Elkins Automotive (Charlotte), Sun Plaza (Albemarle), and Pro Tire 2 (Albemarle).

    State inspection passed and current.

    Rebuilt hybrid batteries are now available on the market, which makes replacement more affordable.

    This is also a rare car in that I was able to haggle down Carmax's price. The window sticker said she had Cruise Control, which she didn't, so they offered to install it, or give me a discount, and I took the discount!
