You are bidding on a 2001 hybrid prius. If you know about these cars then the first thing you will be asking is about the HV battery; yes it has a rebuilt battery in it.
Here is everything I know about the car. I bought it from a friend who's wife was the 2nd owner. I bought it at 125k miles and the HV battery was going bad. I actually picked it up from the dealer the 2nd time they looked at it and told him that the new battery would be 4k to buy and install. I bought the car and then bought gen 2 battery modules from a guy on ebay who rebuilds packs from salvaged gen2 prii. He told me he pulled the modules from a 60k mi and a 50k mi prius. I'm an electrical engineer and I checked and replaced all the modules in the pack. It has been perfect since then, I have never had any service codes set that indicate the battery has any problems. This car is in great shape for how old it is. My wife has been driving it now for over 3 years and my family is outgrowing it. It does have a few small issues that I would say are expected from a car this old. Here are the issues I'm aware of in order of importance: 1: Right after you start the car it will occasionally die (the ICE). It does this worse when it's very cold outside. When it does this it sets code P3191. I have troubleshot this problem several times and it is very consistent. The engine dies exactly the same every time it happens (approx 6sec after started). It has been doing this now for over a year and it's not big enough of a deal to do anything about. My wife has noticed that if she turns the A/C or Heater off before she starts the car that reduces the probability that it will happen. When it happens you simply turn off the car, turn it back on and everything is fine. I have read many forums, replaced the MAF sensor, tried a few other things and have come to the conclusion that the engine ECU is causing this. Forums say the ECU's have a problem and need replaced with a .......54 model or something. Anyway, the ECU is in my opinion too expensive relative to the value of the car at this point. And only having to turn the car off and back on occasionally isn't that big of a deal. 2: There is some body damage to the back left bottom of the car. It isn't too bad and it's the only body damage that isn't perfectly normal for a car of this age. Other than that the body is in great shape with just very minor dents and scratches. See pictures of this. 3: The LCD touchscreen has faded spots in it like it has had sun damage or something, but it still functions perfectly, you can read everything on it and the touchscreen works good 4: The door switches lock/unlock and window up/down switches have seen better days. Some of them are popping out or very loose, but wait............ they all still work ok, you just have to treat them with some TLC :)) 5: In the last 6 months I have seen a code set for power steering. I can't remember the code, but I've read in forums that there are two position sensors in the power steering rack that sense position and as one/both of them wear out they don't agree and it sets a check engine code. This hasn't affected anything, I just figure one of the sensors is starting to go bad. Again one of those problems that isn't worth addressing b/c it's not a bad enough problem :)) Other than those things listed above, the car is in great working order. The A/C is good and cold, the tires are good, the interior is good (for it's age). My wife has and is currently driving this car every day. I'll be perfectly honest, no BS, this car could drive perfectly as-is for years to come,,, or it could develop a problem tomorrow. As with any used car there are no guarantees :(( But, great news. Coming with this car is a wrecked 2001 prius. Two for one, just in time for 4th of July :)) It's the exact same car as mine (different color). A colleague of mine bought this car brand new (he claims it was the first prius in Tulsa :)) at 70kmi it was wrecked an he bought it from the insurance company in hopes of some day building something cool out of it (he is also an electrical engineer). He heard I was selling mine and we got to talking, we thought that his wrecked car would make a great compliment to my running car. We figured someone who is buying this car is probably someone who is a good mechanic and/or likes tinkering with these things like us. So, you can see from the pics that the car was damaged on the front drivers side. We think the inverter and engine are not hurt, they have been sitting un-used for 8yrs now, so no guarantees. The rest of the car is in great condition. All the interior is near perfect condition, LCD, Door switches, etc, The battery was removed long ago so it does not come with the car. We can discuss shipping of the parts car after the auction is over, but I will entertain delivering at least part way for cost. I love road trips. Feel free to ask me any questions you like, I'll answer them the best I can. Thanks, Zach |

Mazda rotary engine returning, in an autonomous Toyota delivery vehicle
Mon, Jan 22 2018With the return of the Toyota Supra, the Lotus Esprit and Mazda RX-7 probably share the trophy for hardcore sports cars we'd most like sequels for. The Esprit's too hopeless to consider. Mazda continues to speak in riddles about a new RX-7, but the company has confirmed that the RX-7's heart will return: The company's building a rotary-engined range-extender engine for an autonomous Toyota. At this year's Consumer Electronics Show, Toyota announced its e-Palette autonomous electric delivery vehicle. The e-Palette will come in bus, shuttle, and car versions to service the delivery needs of companies like Amazon, Pizza Hut, and Uber. They'll also be built in custom configurations such as mobile hotel rooms and emergency command centers. Toyota owns 5.25 percent of Mazda, the two automakers recently signed a deal to open a factory in Alabama, and Mazda's known for ace work with small engines. It's not surprising that Toyota chose Mazda for help with the e-Palette, but the rotary aspect is novel. Mazda U.S. president Masahiro Moro said, "This is a very suitable engine to run a generator because it's compact and lightweight, with no noise or vibration, and it has very good fuel economy." There have been rumors of this development previously, as far back as 2016, then again last October in reference to an electric architecture Mazda intended for release in 2019, but Toyota was never mentioned. As to pining for that RX-7 redux, Mazda's head of powertrain said the company's overcome the technical issues of a sports-car-sized rotary engine — the challenge is making a business case for such a sports car. We think the RX-VISION made the case three years ago, and it's already fitted with the Skyactiv-R rotary. Separately, a Toyota spokesman added that the two companies are looking into whether the rotary can be useful beyond the electric car. That's not much to go on when it comes to pining for another RX-7, but hope lives on a scanty diet. Related Video:
How new car shortages may impact your buying experience
Wed, 04 Sep 2013If you want further proof that the auto industry is bouncing back, look no further than the empty lots and forecourts of your local dealership. According to a story by The Wall Street Journal, continued high demand for mainstream cars is overtaxing automakers' ability to produce enough models. Several dealers interviewed for the story are reporting two-week supplies as opposed to the typical two-month allocations.
With sales expected to hit 1.4 million units when August numbers arrive shortly and incentive spending down to its lowest amount since January, these limited supplies are pushing prices even higher. For example, according to the WSJ, the average price of a Ford Fusion is up past $26,000. Unfortunately, it's difficult for manufacturers to increase production quickly. If it invests in its facilities, as many manufacturers have done, it risks wasting cash if growth suddenly slows. At the same time, the momentum gained over the past several years could be short lived if vehicle supplies continue to dwindle. "Manufacturers are in a precarious situation," notes Karl Brauer, a senior director at Kelley Blue Book.
Low interest rates and a wealth of desirable features are also allowing customers to purchase more expensive vehicles while justifying their higher overall price tags, a situation that is compounding supply shortages. Even now, during the annual end-of-summer clearance season, deals on new vehicles are remarkably difficult to come by. According to the report, the Toyota Corolla is in a self-inflicted state of shortage, as Toyota clears out inventory in anticipation of the new 2014 generation arriving in dealers. Ford's supplies should rebound as Fusion production comes on line at its Flat Rock, Michigan factory. The Chevrolet Impala, Honda Odyssey, Civic, and Accord and Subaru Forester are also facing shortages.
