[Price] 09 prius touring with 317000 miles

do not buy this car. we can't tell you much of anything except that it could get very, very expensive.

this car has exceeded its expected lifespan. and then some.

they do not sound like an experienced priuschatter, except possibly to the inexperienced.

how in the world could a car with 317,000 miles not need any maintenance for another 83,000 miles?

what could they possibly have done to the interior in 12 years that it would need to be entirely replaced?

 

I've seen this car on Priuschat, so in all probability was a PC member, was well maintained from what I remember. He is also the original owner.

Got lucky, here is the post.

you would be well advised to buy a non hybrid. something that any corner shop can repair if necessary

 

If under $2K, I'd buy it. If any future repair is too expensive, then just junk it.

 

Curious if the car in question ever had the bearings/shocks/struts replaced, as they didn't list that in the CL posting. Personally had the touring model, and though many perceive it as desirable, it isn't all that or worth any additional value. The 16" rims do look nice, though the tires generally cost more. Gen2 cats have more precious metals than others, hence the desire to steal them, and it only takes a couple of minutes if a thief is slow. You might consider another vehicle, not sure what that might be as even civics are having their cats stolen now.

Which ever vehicle you decide to purchase, be sure to spend $5 on a carfax, especially when purchasing a higher ticket vehicle.
