    $2000 - located in zip code 25301, WV

    Mileage
    : 160,528. I purchased it at 94,000 miles.

    Features:
    • leather seats
    • JBL audio system (factory, not aftermarket)
    • Backup camera
    • Fairly new General Altimax 365AW tires
    • Less than a year old 12V battery
    Condition:
    • Engine: Runs great—I've driven it on long trips (500 miles each way) without any issues. It's been good to me.

    • Needs Attention:
      • Exhaust manifold leak: Welding is the recommended fix, but I can’t weld. Without the fix the car is loud. There is no exhaust leak in the vehicle, at least not that I can smell. Can replace, but to me it was too expensive to replace.

      • Coolant heat storage tank: Needs replacing, causing no AC or heat. I’ve purchased a replacement tank but lack the tools to install it.

      • Check Engine Light: This is related to the coolant heat storage tank issue (can provide the specific code if needed).

      • Trunk Door Damage: The trunk door is damaged from an accidental forced opening (see photos). It was locked and I tried to force it open. Broke it.

      • Front-end Damage: Hit a deer; fog lights are missing, and the undercarriage cover is gone too. This was all my bad.
    Title:
    • Standard Title: Clean title but the mileage does say 999999 on the title. I think this is due to the car was abandoned and towed in Massachusetts, and when the tow company acquired the car and requested a new title that's how it came. I am no expert on this but I believe the mileage is accurate. The car has been reliable, but I am not the original owner.
    Additional Info:
    • VIN available for buyers to check the history or bring a mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection (buyer’s cost). Test drives are welcome, and I can video chat to show the car running and/or record it on the highway if preferred. Come see it, coffee/tea/donuts/cake/lunch is on me. Even if you don't buy it, I'll welcome you with open arms.
    Why I’m Selling:
    • The reason I’m selling is I have too many cars: Fusion Hybrid, Camry, another 2007 Prius, and Honda CR-V, and I need to downsize. Additionally, my work is providing me with a take-home car, which is arriving in mid-April. I don't have room
    Lastly, I am not shipping the car. Cash is king, or meet at your bank for cashier's check, we can also meet at police station for cash exchange. No zelle, no paypal, no venmo, no online payment. Sorry, not sorry.
