Yes 1st gen HCH both CVT and MT had leanburn. Can't say for sure but CA model did not have lean burn on any transmission option. If it has an ULEV sticker it lean burns. SULEV does not.

How do you get notifications on hx's for sale?

My only advice is to broaden your search for other models too. That and go see any nearby cars and do test drives. Some items not on the checklist, you find you can live with.
I use List-Alert.com. I guess that I will put in one for Prii, but that really sounds like a waste of time. I do not know how to sort out the overpriced newer ones from the overpriced older ones.

Heh. I limited it to $1000 and $3,500 and it showed two salvage Prii. Honestly, I think that someone could make one good Prius out of them, but that person will not be me.
