Same opinion as Old Mechanic. Better to buy a 2001-2003 Echo for 2000-3000 bucks than buying an old hybrid. The Prius is like an echo, it as the same ICE 1.5L VVT-I, but with an electric motor and a battery pack. If you have the chance to get a prius with a working battery pack, buy it, but if the battery pack is not working, don't buy it.
