2 minutes on Craigslist

https://nashville.craigslist.org/cto/5877821994.html

2000 (best year), Silver, 5MT, 129k miles, asking $2900.

I see a fair number with low miles for ~$4k that you might be able to lowball.

EDIT: This one is farther away but an option if you like red:

Yeah, I kinda wish my car had the LX9, instead of the L61... Similar mileage(taller final drive), but more power(207hp vs 145)

Here's one for ya here in sunny central Florida. Looks like a clutch switch above the coin box though, might not be a great sign

If the battery is weak, you can keep the IMA light off by not using assist, which can be disabled with a clutch switch. However, it can also just be a sign of a hypermiler trying to get more manual control over the hybrid functions. I have one, for instance, and use it frequently.



EDIT: However, I don't see why it would matter in Florida, where there are no inspections.

He claims 60-70mpg... Maybe he's just a hypermiler... Most times a full grid charge helps weak IMA batteries, right?

When I have looked for Prii for what I paid for the Civic, they always had 300-400,000 miles and bad transmissions and\or traction batteries. A quick search showed:

I already have two cars! Someone tell me not to buy a third!

Anyone!
