I currently drive a 1995 Toyota 4Runner, and my husband and I are expecting our first child at the end of August. I am looking into trading or selling my car to purchase a used, more gas effecient car. I was searching on autotrader for something more in my price range and found a 2001 Toyota Prius with about 100,000 miles. This is appropriate for the age of the car but I was curious if anyone owns this type of car, if there are more problems with an older prius, and how many miles this car will max at. Toyotas are known to last but will a first generation prius? Also, would you find that its better to buy the older model at the apporpriate mileage over a newer model with too many miles?
thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
