    Looking to add a second Prius to the stable. They want $5,000, seems ok but thought I got a slight ozone whiff in her..........my imagination or traction battery warning??? What are these things worth?
    Thanks

    The designed life of a Prius is only 180,000 miles, so you are basically buying something that can break down at any time.......or may last another 100k miles. It's a roll of the dice.

    They may have used an ozone generator to get the odor out of the vehicle... As a current Prius owner, I am sure you are aware of the potential for failures at that mileage...

    too much IMO, a lot of expensive stuff can go bad at that mileage.
