    The owner says the car gets 40-42 mpg.. has 94k miles. MPG seems a bit low for an '06 doesn't it? I know it's dependent on weather, driver, and car condition.. sometimes unknown mechanical problems..

    Probably the best thing is to go out and take a look at it.. and find a Specialist Prius Mechanic.. but where do I find one in Southern California?

    Any suggestion is appreciated, thanks!

    Looking forward to be a prius owner!

    That MPG is about right for a car used for short city trips and not running LRR tires.

    mpg is probably right if non LRR tires. I had a 2006 and had no issues with it. Mileage will drop into the mid 30's at highway speeds in the winter. Redlands Toyota is a good dealership if you live in that area.
