I think there is still a TDI versus Prius rivalry, although it was definitely weakened by Volkswagen lately. We have had conversations about awesome Toyotas and lousy VWs, but you always have German fanboys saying theirs are awesome and telling horror stories of Volkswagens, but I always refer to this chart I modified from one Ecky shared:

I have honestly never seen a Prius this good in my market: 2005 Toyota Prius

Usually they have bad traction battery, transmission, and\or a salvage title.

Five years newer than my car and 1/8th fewer miles.

That is actually tempting.

It needs some work and I would definitely want a mechanic to verify the blower motor, as well as checking everything else.

Bizarre: Toyota prius calls only accepted
"don't have any need for the vehicle and haven't used it in four months ran and drove great when I parked it battery is dead so you'll have to tow it out of here and get a hybrid battery charger"

2001 Toyota prius
"35mpg in the summer"

2007 Toyota Prius Hybrid (MECHANIC'S SPECIAL)
"The vehicle currently makes a clicking noise"
Are you sure you do not have the turn signal on?

2006 TOYOTA PRIUS - RUNS GREAT
"olive green" looks silver! Salvage rebuilt

I have found the Consumer Reports annual used car reliability charts very helpful.
