Yep.
My oldest is now in Bellingham at school (Whatcom Community College for a couple years, then maybe a transfer) along with glass classes. We had hoped a bike would be good enough, but for her to work and get to school, she needs a vehicle. We have agreed to help her out. Deciding a used Prius fits the bill. Hatch back with fold down seats, good mileage, decent crash test safety.
Our budget is $5-6k, and so we were looking at 2007's with as close to a hundred thousand as we could find. But a 2005 popped up within budget with 80k on it. Could be a winner! The others we have been looking at are more like 100-120k miles. What am I looking for as for differences in model years? I understand there may be a back up camera available a year or two later. It looks like you can install one including a new stereo unit. I see a Jensen on Amazon.
The 2005 is less money than a 2007 with more miles, and if we can install the camera into the nav/stereo unit, that seems doable. Any other thoughts from you Prius owners or other auto people?
