2001 Toyota Prius Sedan 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Not worth it
 To buy a new hybrid is OK if parts are under warranty.It seems that the HV battery (High Voltage batter) at a cost of $4000.00 installed dies after 8 years and around 150,000km .Just when the warranty dies.Hmmmm!!The car is nice to drive, but, so is a Elantra and the Elantra is way more reliable and coat effective to fix for the same year.Then there is the converter!!! Another $4000.00!!Please read carefully the reports about the 1 gen Prius.The HV battery will go on you and they were a poor quality.If you are buying a Prius to save the planet, forget it!The cost and consumables related to keeping it going including maintenance and repairs will far out weigh the savings.
