Not on a new one no. But i was considering buying an old high mileage vehicle.

Based on my research an intuition, the stop and go driving that kills other vehicles dosen't impact the prius nearly as much, and as such is not subject to as much wear.

The only ?? is the battery pack, and there is now aftermarket rebuilds that replace individual worn cells at a fraction of the cost of a new pack.

^^ All theory though.
