Toyota Prius with high mileage, any good ?
Hi,
I`m looking to buy a second hand car in Granada and the Toyota Prius has caught my eye.
I am willing to spend between 5k - 6k . If I go for a high mileage one is it wise ? Are they that reliable ? Are parts easy to get ? and could I take it to e.g - Norauto , or any independent for servicing i.e. changing transmission oil, axel oil , pollen filters etc . ?
I am looking at good fuel economy and space.
I encourage any thoughts on whether the Prius would be a good choice and where to buy as not to get ripped off.
Thanks.

OK, so I guess nobody owns a Toyota Prius.
Thanks anyway.

Re: Toyota Prius with high mileage, any good ?
It`s practical and would mostly be driving in the city with an occasional long trip to the Costa del Sol from Granada .
I picked the Prius on it`s superb economy and quietness not to disrupt the neighbours and this reliability !!!!!!!!
So, I would like people who have this car to please read my initial starting thread and tell me about these high mileage ones . I would be interested too in whether I could service the car in these quick service centers as I do my shopping in Alcampo.
Thanks.

Why not try the T25

Or the T27

Why can't they make an electric car look anywhere near normal?
To the OP - you don't get much secondhand for 5 - 6000 in Spain.

Sorry, not my kinda car.
Yes, believe it or not you can get a good second-hand car for 5-6k and I have sourced out a Prius for 4,800 , which is why I wanted an owner of one to tell me alittle more - preferably with high miles.
The Prius does what I want but I was looking for some feedback, obviously there are no Prius owners on this forum so I`LL cast my net out somewhere else.
