    I have had people come take it for a test drive but 3/3 have questioned the sound the car is making. I'm not familiar enough with the sounds of Prius's to know if it is unusual. It is coming from the front end of the car. It sounds like it's working harder or something? I want to attach audio but cannot find an audio file type that this site accepts. What should I do?

    Yeah can't wait to hear this one More than likely people are just BS and you because they want you to drop the car a thousand bucks or they want it for free or whatever antics are going on but this is how the car nonsense rolls even in private sales everybody wants to come around and kick the tires and tell you this isn't worth that because of such and such and so and so and the market won't bring this and I know what I'm doing because I do this everyday yeah all that so you know that's why I don't sell much of anything I ever have so I don't even deal with this kind of nonsense. What I do know is I'm a pretty well informed individual and every time I call up about buying something from somebody whether it's craigslist Facebook marketplace when I come a calling and asking the right questions I get blocked and called an idiot in the moron because their butt hurt because I know more about the product they're trying to pimp off on me and tell them exactly what's wrong with it and such and so forth not necessarily in the car business in a lot of things and then boom I have all these thousands of instances where this has happened for quite normal questions oh it's hysterical so generally when I come a calling it's not available That's exactly what the text says because they know I'm asking the right questions and don't make mistakes and when I get there stuff isn't right I pointed out immediately and tell them oh well you know usually I don't have to make the trip because I can spot it in the pictures I tell them what I need to see etc then I point out the problem and they're like screw you you don't know squat You're just an idiot that ain't giving you no money
