[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm thinking of buying a 2009 Prius with A LOT of mileage - 189,000 on it. We'd solely use it as a commuter car. It's in good condition and has been well-maintained?

Is there any particular downside to buying a Prius that old compared to a regular vehicle?[/quote]

Not really.  We just sold our 2006.  I only sold it because a back panel was coming off.  We loved that car.  We had replaced the big battery.  We had about 5 people offer
us stacks of hundred dollar bills to buy the car unsolicited. I believe we sold it for $3000.  We probably could have got more.

I'd find out when the big battery was changed.

We now have a 2020 EV prius.

The Prius like any Toyota and Honda is a workhorse vehicle and is in demand.

I'm the PP. I'd find out when the big battery was changed.  We had to change ours at around 106,000 miles.  The newer big batteries last a lot longer.

I believe the newer prius batteries get 150,000 - 200,000 miles on them but you should confirm that.
