    2011 Toyota prius I'm thinking of buying this vehicle. Will it cost me a lot? I have a limited budget, but would you recommend? How much will it cost me to repair?

    Yes it will be costly to repair the obvious and plan on another $10k for engine, battery and brake by wire mechanicals.

    I would NOT recommend buying this car /
    That looks like it could be really a money pit /

    How much are they asking? What’s the miles? What’s your skill set; are you a mechanic?

    They want 7000 dollars, the vehicle is in Turkey, it's a bit difficult myself, but I have to get it repaired.
    they could not start the vehicle, so the mile cannot be read. I can replace the batteries myself. I have experience with batteries.

    Even with the conditions in Turkey I don't know man that's not going to be a thing you want to be involved in I can assure you that maybe a piaggio scooter until you can figure it out at least you're moving.

    Wouldn't it be enough if I bought a front bumper and a rear bumper?

    No I truly don't believe so mehmet. You will need a lot more than that to get that car even a quarter of the way straight but hey if it's something you want to t tackle.

    There should be a placard inside drivers door opening, saying the month and year the car was built. Maybe post that.

    a lot of potential problems with this generation of Prius though.

    This vehicle needs a lot more than new bumpers or batts; a lot more. Unless you're in the repair business with the tools, knowledge and space; pass.

    front bumper, rear bumper and rear and front bodywork, front and rear headlights, however, are different. Even if you write one and you are understandable, what you say is not understood

    Normally it is not necessary to "start the vehicle" (which I take to mean put in READY mode) to read the odometer. It must have a 12-volt battery connected, though.

    The vehicle didn't start due to the accident, I'm assuming at most 70,000 miles, the vehicle looks great cosmetically. I thought the mile was low because the cosmetics were good. I have experience in battery and battery, I can handle it. My question is, will this tool work for me? excluding battery part

    I think you will regret buying it. It is a very complex vehicle and the battery is the least of the concerns.
