Seems to have decent and or new tires on it. I didn’t take tons of photos. Drove nice, started no issues. No funky smells. Some minor rust holes under the read doors. It seems to be very well maintained. I took it on the highway and anything above 70 the mpg started to decline. It was averaging 38.5 around 70 mph. I kept it around 65-68 and it began to go up. At around 48/50 mph it was averaging around 48-53 mpg with cruise. I didn’t drive it long. Has some cosmetic damage. Scratches and a dent on the rear driver side. Nothing major.
This will be a daily driver for my husband to commute 1.5 hours to and from work. Round trip about 124 miles per day, five days a week. My husband will be looking at it Monday. We have no idea what we are doing. Never bought a Prius, so we are both extremely nervous about putting cash out for a vehicle that will be driven a distance for commuting. Really wanting to get a Prius for the longevity, low maintenance and good mileage.
