    I'm test-driving a used 2005 Prius tomorrow. It has about 15,000 miles on it. The listed price is $20,900.

    Is there anything in particular I should be aware of in test-driving? Supposedly it was a 1-owner car, local. This is a used car dealer, not a Toyota dealership.

    Any tips on what to ask, what to keep in mind would be appreciated. Thanks.

    welcome to PC!

    You should take it to the highway, and if possible at least for a 30 min drive to see how you like the handling of the car. Make sure the oil changes and tire rotations have been done every 5000 miles. I am guessing it still has warranty.
