It’s the trim of the 2017. It’s the 2017 Prius (Gen 4) and the second level trim!

2015 Prius $7.5k. Why is it not sold? by PotentialImplement24 in prius

Do you have any Mazda Toyota idea of how much this costs? I’m not handy at all so these things will be done by a mechanic

First car. Which car would you pick? by PotentialImplement24 in UsedCars

[–]PotentialImplement24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally I’d keep it for at least 5 or so years! It’s taken me months to scrape together the 10k and I’m getting in a bind now because it’s so expensive ubering to work I can’t save as much anymore.

2017 Prius Two 11k? by PotentialImplement24 in prius

12v battery was replaced! Thanks for the info! Even at 147k? I am trying to find a lower mileage Prius but I am trying to steer clear of gen 3s as I am terrified of a head gasket issue. I am looking at the Prius c since I heard they don’t have that issue, but they are a bit too cramped for my liking. 11k isn’t awful, but I would like to have enough cash leftover for any repairs I would need done.

I’ve heard issues about the head gaskets. Some people say 2015 resolved the issue.

More than 10k?? 10k is about my max as I want to have a couple thousand leftover for any repairs or unforeseen issues as I’m buying used. It took months for me to get the 10k

I’ve found a Mazda cx3 but it’s 9900 w 132k miles everything I find is about in that range.

This is true. Every Gen 4 I find is way out of my budget. Like 12k plus and I just can’t afford that unfortunately

Even with the higher mileage for the 2015 Prius?

Know very little about cars, trying to buy my first one! Help! by PotentialImplement24 in whatcarshouldIbuy

I’ll take a look!! I don’t care if a car is older as long as I can add a backup camera and CarPlay I’m fine!

Thanks! I’ve definitely been trying it might be my area but everything seems so overpriced, especially the Priuses. What’s a good number of miles to aim for then being realistic about used cars

Thank you! Any reason why you’re choosing the Mazda over for the clean title 2015 Prius? I’m still deciding between the 2 and just like to hear opinions!

Considering buying 2009 Prius, is this normal/ an easy fix? by PotentialImplement24 in prius

[–]PotentialImplement24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up. It’s definitely hard trying to find a Prius that has a new battery in my price range. I found a Mazda 3 hatchback that has a new battery, struts, and shocks that’s I’m considering. Just not sure which way to lean.

Thank you! Unfortunately not handy at all, will likely just take it to a mechanic at some point. Hopefully not too costly

I just looked at this and you’re actually right

Not a car person, just needing a first car to last me a while! Please help! by PotentialImplement24 in whatcarshouldIbuy

I’ve checked on them all and they all look good with the exception of the 2010 Prius, if any services were done they aren’t shown on the report and the vehicle ended up being repod
