Don't worry, I have several spreadsheets!!
I just got back from looking at the Prius. It was 10 minutes from work.
Paint and interior are a 9/10 for a 143,000 mile car. There are worn spots on the interior plastic and the paint has some rubs, but overall good. No rust.
Odd smell. Not a deal killer for me, but the wife? She is on the fence.
Whoever owned it last ran over a large curb or something. There is a dent about 12" long down the bottom of the rocker. Passenger door opens and closes fine. To go along with this, part of the air dam between the bumper and radiator is missing. Not a big deal, can be fixed cheaply.
Passed VA inspection, but the front two tires are bald on the outside edges. Also needs an alignment. Rear tires are new and brand matched, but they are cheap, cheap, cheap.
Windshield has cracks, but passed inspection.
It comes with one key. I think a new one is $200. The key it has is falling apart and rubber banded together.
So, four new tires from tirerack.com are $312 minus shipping. Bridgestone Ecopias. I'd have to do more research, but those should work on the cheap.
I am not sold. I hate getting rid of a 33,000 mile Mazda that gets 25 mpg that we owe $9,800 on for a 143,000 mile Prius that is going to cost $5k.
I think I should focus on keeping my damn cars instead of selling a year or two after I buy them!!!
