Well, in the Portland area they are way over-valued. They are cheap feeling due to how noisy the cabin is, and how cheap the interior looks and feels. Then there is the lack of horsepower, which is super annoying when someone is going 10 MPH under the speed limit, but you want to pass them, but are denied because the jerk can't live with a Prius in front of him.
I'd probably not look at anything older than 2007, because that was a mid-model refresh year and they included a bunch of optional features as standard. Seems strange that the battery would need replacement so soon, but I've heard of vents being blocked that cause them to prematurely die.
