    Any reason I shouldn't get this 2010 Three w/130k miles for $6500? Autotrader - page unavailable It doesn't have leather or auto-dimming rearview mirror, but to get those I'd have to go older to a 2007 w/113k miles for $5500 or 2008 w/89k miles for $5800.

    Ive been using my 2011 for food deliveries. Its now at 225k miles and no EGR or gasket issues. Knock on Wood.

    Edit.
    1. Hybrid battery is probably a few weeks from total failure, was hoping to get a quarter million miles.
    2. Brake booster / Master Cylinder was replaced at 120k (but Toyota just extended their warranty for this for unlimited miles until AUG 31, 2021)
    3. AC compressor failed at 90k.
