    I just purchased a 2008 Toyota Prius Touring. It currently has 63,000 miles on it. From what I am reading I should get a new auxiliary battery and change the transmission fluid. The steering wheel is off center, but the alignment is fine. I assume it's from the steering shaft being replaced and they didn't center the steering wheel. I just got new tires, so I will get an alignment and center the steering wheel. At the same time I will have the transmission fluid changed.

    The AC servo is making noise and I will mention it to the dealer when I go in. It's still under warranty for 2 more years. So, I might just wait to get that fixed.

    The drive belt was changed at 50,000 miles. Seems like the dealer wanted to make some money on unnecessary repair.

    Anything else I should look out for?
