The car is a 2003 USED Toyota Prius Hybrid
It has a little over 180,000 miles on it
The car was a single-owner trade in at a reputable dealer (Heiser Toyota)
The price on autotrader.com is 3,995 and the price on the car is 6,995

I have researched a lot about the car and can't find much information about what happens after 180,000 miles. I want to know if this would be a good or bad buy. I need a reliable car because I live in Wisconsin and go to school in Minnesota so when I drive home for holidays it is about 235 miles. I also work about 30 miles from where I live, so the car pretty much cannot break down.

Any suggestions?
i test drove it today and absolutely loved it. i don't know much about toyota's though and our friend who is familiar with cars said the same thing. i know they are reliable but i don't want to spend 4,000 dollars on a car that is just going to need a 3,000 dollar replacement in 2 months.
unfortunately i have to be hasty because i go back to work the second and i need a car. i totaled my 2003 honda pilot last week (over 180,000 miles, till worked great) and only have a certain amount of money to spend because of what i got from insurance. it would be about 3500 dollars,
