    Have always liked color Green.

    Sounds like a nice used prius, but buy it now price is too much

    Have always liked that color / shade of Green.

    Sounds like a nice used prius, but the buy it now price is too much I think.

    Let the news media see that :D

    I do not know, I'd rather have this car than a 2001 Corolla LE with half the milage for the price their buy it now is asking. If it's lasted this long, it's bound to have another 300k left in it.

    Thanks for sharing this link, it's great to see our cars will last a long time if taken care of!

    I don't think the price is so out of line.

    But did you look at the location? What have Massachusetts winters (and road salt) done to the underside?

    I thought I would post this link, since I caught so much hell for saying "Most Pri on e-bay with over 100k have had their traction battery replaced..." some time ago....

    Well, this one qualifies...albeit at 310k!
    I have to wonder if there's a bias for selling by those who've had an issue with the battery b/c it made them question the reliability. While those without any issue continue to drive their car without concern. Still, it's a topic worth keeping an eye on.
