Hi Scotty I have been searching and doing research for 5 months and finally settled on the Prius. I don’t want car payments and I am not in a position to spend more than 15,000. what is the oldest and highest mileage I should stay away from? What if the car has a great maintenance record? 1 owner. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you

I would probably avoid anything over 10-12 years old unless you factor in the cost of buying a new battery pack. Even at that age it's likely it would need a new battery within a few years. (Yes, sometimes they'll last longer but it's a crap shoot.) Make sure you have any candidate thoroughly checked out by a mechanic familiar with hybrids.
