so my wife asked me about getting this car for her
its a 2005 Toyo Prius hybrid with 166k for $4500.0
that is about all I know at this time

chances are the batts are either dead or close to it, and I know from reading these forums those will be pretty expensive to replace, not really an issue as long as the car will run fine with just gasoline ?
also, what problems might I need to look for ?

Im pretty familiar with looking at used cars, but not a hybrid.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
