While doing a search on "sold" listings I was surprised how many G1 and G2 Priuses are being sold with dead or worn-out batteries. I knew Honda hybrids abused their batteries, but I thought Toyota's system was golden with almost no failures.
That would be a good way to get a cheap Prius though:
- Buy a car with dead or weak battery for ~2000 dollars, then tow it to the nearest dealer for replacement. You have a car that only cost you $5000 overall.
