    Replace those rotors and pads, consumables on a Prius are basically free. I can't even buy a single rotor for other cars I own for the price of all four Prius rotors/pads.

    I would be just as worried about the hybrid battery dying after 4 months. Priuses have to be driven or the hybrid battery will fail...

    That should really be, "old Priuses need to be driven regularly or the hybrid battery will fail..."

    The older the Prius the more likely there will be battery problems if it has sat undriven for 3 months or longer.
