    I've been scouring the web looking for a relatively good deal on a Gen III Prius - I see a couple that are very appealing price-wise and have about 100k miles on them - based on all the reading I've done on here these have to be one of the most reliable vehicles - still - I wanted to get your thoughts on what to look out for.

    Any input is appreciated.

    Thanks.

    100k isn't really high considering that 300k is not uncommon, but there is always risk. I would look for normal type things, a big one being that it wasn't a taxi or fleet vehicle, unless priced accordingly.
