    Hi PriusChat!

    I'm working for toyota since may, so I figured a prius would be a good commuter car for me. Found a beat up 05 base model. Needed brakes, drive belt, A few light bulbs, and doing water pump on it. Looking forward to put an engine block heater in, an aftermarket radio, fog lights and some nicer wheels.

    Cheers Bara

    Congratulations!
    Working for Toyota you definitely have an advantage when it comes to getting help with it. Did it have any kind of detailed service records?

    Yesterday, I bought a 2012 Prius with 25,000 miles. My last cars have been Hyundia. I hope I have good luck with this car.

    As we have unlimited access to Carfax and TIS ( Toyota Information System ), I can see almost everything.

    Im reading about the hybrid battery balancing, and battery life. Going to diagnose my battery tomorrow at work, than see, how are those modules.
