#117 of 194 Re: How do you keep the display screen clean? [rick294] by peakoil Jun 12, 2008 (10:49 am)
Replying to: rick294 (Apr 21, 2008 1:29 pm) I bought a little (4" high) bottle of eyeglasses cleaner spray, and keep that and a minipak of Kleenex in the glove box. The wipes someone mentioned are probably a bit simpler to use.
#118 of 194 Used Prius Models by ricko Jun 21, 2008 (9:08 am)
I am looking to buy a used Prius and needed to know if there are any model years that I need to stay away from due to problems. Thanks for you help. ricklo Replies to this message: dstarinieri (Jun 21, 2008 9:34 am) railroadjames (Jun 21, 2008 9:58 am) rick294 (Jun 24, 2008 2:24 pm)

Replying to: ricko (Jun 21, 2008 9:08 am) The current generation seems to have no issues at all. Not to sure about the first model. But why used? Many are selling used for as much as a new one or more. Heck I'll sell you my 07 that has 30,000 miles for what I paid for it, and I know here in California I can get more that I paid for it right now.

Replying to: ricko (Jun 21, 2008 9:08 am) With nearly 80K miles on an '04 Prius I'd say ..."Good Luck finding a used Prius (2nd Generation '04-08). I can't see buying an '03 or older unless it was at a great price. As with the other comment, I'd say ...put down a down-payment on a new one and wait for delivery. Used ones are going for premium prices (when you can find em).This last dollar in gas increase to over 4 bucks has made Prius owners one up on everyone else as I see it. I've saved in access of $10,000.00 in 4 plus yrs over a V8 sedan that averaged about 16 mpg.   By the way...I've seen a few used (damaged Prius) on ebay and/or auto finder listings, that could be a handman's special and save mega bucks if you're good at auto repair. Lastly...It might not be a bad idea to wait a few months and get an '09 Prius with what ever it may hold in styling and tech. improvements.                                                                                                Railroadjames
#121 of 194 have 07 Prius want to sell by ginnyerns Jun 21, 2008 (10:50 am)
Have an 07 with 5000 miles on it that I want to sell. Live near Boise Idaho if any one is interested. What would be a fair price. Ginny Replies to this message: dstarinieri (Jun 21, 2008 6:18 pm)

Replying to: ginnyerns (Jun 21, 2008 10:50 am) Ginny, I would put that car on E-bay with a reserve of what you paid for the car. Here in Los Angeles I'm seeing used 07's selling for $30,000. As much as I love my Prius I'm thinking it is time to sell it. The $8,000 more that I paid for it buys a lot of gas in a Honda Civic. Let me know what you get for it if you sell.
#123 of 194 unexpected screen changes by m_selectors Jun 22, 2008 (7:27 am)
I have an '07 Prius with 13000 mi. A little quirk developed a couple of wks ago. If I go over a big bump there's a good chance my "Audio" screen will change to the "Consumption" screen ! I have also noticed... but not recently... a radio channel can also change over a big bump in the road ... this only happened once or twice...but my driveway has a large dip where it joins the street and if I'm not going v-e-r-y slow that screen jumps to "Consumption"! Anyboby have any ideas on this ? A friend suggests something may be loose (?)....thanks Replies to this message: dstarinieri (Jun 22, 2008 2:52 pm) m_selectors (Jun 24, 2008 4:31 pm)

Replying to: m_selectors (Jun 22, 2008 7:27 am) Your friend is right. Sounds like something is just loose. Replies to this message: m_selectors (Jun 24, 2008 4:31 pm)

Replying to: ricko (Jun 21, 2008 9:08 am) Consumer Reports showed the '03 Prius (last year of the first generation Prius) as having a lot of reported electrical problems. I have an '08, myself. The current version, of which the '08 is the last one, is rated very high in every category by Consumers, and in fact is their most-recommended family sedan!
