Looked at a car today. Buyer agreed to hold it for me until tomorrow, so I can give it a more thorough inspection and bring my checkbook. He's a medschool student, graduating this semester, and looking to get something newer than a 2004. Didn't seem to know much about cars but had meticulous records from the dealer going back to day 1.
Hybrid battery seems strong, mechanically nothing caught my eye. Runs great, 124k miles. There's a lot of surface rust on bits in the engine bay, but I didn't see anything overly concerning. Asking $3k, which was more than I was hoping to spend, but I think it's worth it.
