I have watched for good Prius deals for years and have shared many on here. It used to be that I regularly saw them for sale with bad transmissions. I don't know why that changed, but now I usually see them with bad or stolen catalytic converters or bad displays.

Many people claim that you can throw a cheap eBay cat on whatever vehicle, but my Fischer cat started throwing codes again after 2.5 years, and if the CC was stolen they probably damaged a bunch of stuff.

Prii also have especially-expensive cats that are integrated with the rest of the exhaust, so unless you have a muffler shop weld in a new one, it is going to be complicated.

I used to always see Prius drivers going 80 on the freeway. I always figured they were in a hurry to save the world. I always laughed because in Germany I always saw Audis passing everyone.

I feel like almost everyone, Prius and lifted pickup drivers alike, drives 80 in Phoenix.
