Yeah, you wouldn't want to end up with a car that has the floorboards rusted through, the frame rails rusted through, the suspension ears cracked, the rear brakes seized, a two foot square hole in the front trunk for a long gone air conditioning compressor, doors (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) that won't close, no emergency brake, no heat, no AC....

Prius I know something about.
Don't buy a salvaged Prius. It is a $3500 - $4000 battery pack swap as a minimum. The electrical system is critical and a slight ding in the back can cost big bucks. That's where the car's "normal" 12v battery sits. That battery is a $250 dry cell special, $300 if Toyota installs. Flip-Side: A "totalled" Prius is as excellent choice for EV components as they are rock solid. The battery pack can still be used if you get a young enough set. Good Luck. 2nd Prius owner - Ummm, my scientist/teacher wife's 2nd one that is... |
