07 Prius
 

My friend that owns a car lot just scored an 07 Prius beater for me at auction .
150000 mi.i have to change a front axle bearing,but he is painting it tomorrow !
I'm a little excited .I have a 77 mile commute each way to work.
Where should I start?

Air pressure in the tyres and driving techniques.

Put Torque Pro on an Android and load up the custom PIDs related to that vehicle. Check out Priuschat.com for all the info.

2007 is the year I would buy if looking at a Gen II. Congrats.

How much? If you don't mind saying.

Welcome to the forum!

First mod (after tire pressure & instrumentation): grille blocking is pretty quick, easy & effective:

Monitor coolant temperature of course.

Further aero mods after that considering your highway drive.

Second the aero mods. Grill blocking, smooth wheel covers (paint pizza pans and bolt them to the trim rings), and ditch the passenger mirror (driver mirror required in Oklahoma, I believe). Remove the rear wiper if you don't use it; you can plug it with a nylon plug from Lowe's or Home Depot and some silicon caulk. Tires at sidewall pressure.

Thanks for all the tips.Guess I got lucky on the year model.i think he got it for about 2000.$ at auction.i joked that with the price of gas (1.15 last week,back to about 1.34 now) they should be giving these away��.they should be putting the base coat clear coat on today I put several hours in on sanding myself,andthe axle hub bearing is on the way 40$.it will probably be 3000.$ by the time I get to commute with it.
I don't use android devices yet I'm kind of stuck with Apple for now.

Great deal with the Prius. I agree with the others. Grill block for sure. Possibly air dam as well.
