welcome!
low mileage is bad on a hybrid, they like to be driven. you will be looking at 3k for a new battery in short order.

 

I forget if it was on here or somewhere else but there was a barn find prius somewhere with no miles and it was over 10 years old and runs perfect after sitting all that time.

If the car had been in extreme heat or temperatures it could be toast for sure. The northwest is pretty moderate. If it got drove every few weeks its probably a similar risk to any other.

Its a lot to pay but to get another 250k out of the car might take 20 years. It will likely need a new battery at some point either way.

 

I don’t know if they do smog/emissions tests in Oregon on a regular basis but that’s a good way to look for inconsistencies. In California they always log the odometer reading so if you see less miles you know something’s wrong.

 

get the vin and plug it into the toyota owners site. it will give you all the dealer service history.

grab a car fax for accident reports

 

pleasure

 

We've only got 50K miles (80K kms) on our 2010; have noticed no difference in the battery. Knock on wood...
