![]() ![]() I'm not sure if this is a red flag or if the owner was just doing their own maintenance during the first months of the pandemic. 40,000 miles were put on the vehicle in these months. I'm not sure if this is something I should avoid it for.ĬarFax has no maintenance records for the period of Nov. There are 3 minor front-end accidents reported by CarFax, though the pictures only show superficial damage: some minor scuffs and scrapes, no dents. If someone could link me a guide, it'd be much appreciated. I bought one of those OBD2 scanner things to test hybrid battery condition with Dr. The hybrid battery is past the factory warranty and potentially getting worn down. Also, before anyone points out that the listing states it's level three trim, it's definitely level five: you can tell by the wheel rims and the inclusion of foglights.ġ53,000 miles is reaching the point where I feel that things are going to start failing. I'm currently looking at this 2014 Toyota Prius with trim level five that's listed for $12,000 including tax. ![]() This is also my first time buying a car, so I would appreciate some help from people with more experience. I've only been looking for a few weeks, but pickings seem to be fairly slim. Alzheimers moment.I'm looking for a reliable, economical, safe, and fairly cheap vehicle to use for college, and I decided that a Toyota Prius would be the best option. Pop that out and you can reach through, to the hatch release. You don't have to pull the storage tray back: it has the little pop-up panel I was thinking about. Have something at the ready to tuck between the hatch lid and the frame, to prevent it promptly locking itself again. At center-rear of the bottom of the hatch frame is a small opening (might have a pop out cover, ours is missing): reach in there, fish around, there is a small metal latch which when moved will release the hatch latch.ħ. Jerk up and pull back slightly the under-hatch-floor storage tray. Maybe stow in the front passenger seat are.ĥ. Unlock the two hatch floor latches, fold it back, then lift it up and out of the hatch area. Fold down one side of the (split) rear seat back.Ĥ. Maybe stow in the rear seat foot well area.ģ. Pop-out and pull out the bar with the hatch area cover. ![]() As you're facing the hatch from the outside, the battery's under the floor panels on the right side.Ĭome to think of it, I've never done that myself, lol.Ģ. Which basically means crawling through the car into the hatch area, and then using the manual hatch release, just below the hatch sill on the inside, behind a plastic pop-out panel. You should also try getting at the battery when it's dead. Both of those do not have switches, and of course: could drain your battery It makes the cabin kinda dark when you get in, but there's still door convenience lights and footwell lights. Both have switches that can be set to permanently off. To wit: the cabin dome light and the hatch light. My 2 cents: turn off every light capable of causing trouble, that has an off switch. You should familiarize yourself with where the battery is, and what lights are in the car, capable of draining the 12 volt. Put yourself in their shoes: the 12 volt is way too vulnerable, can be close to depleted by a door or hatch being inadvertently left ajar over night.
