Hey /o/, I was looking for some advice. I am looking at a 2005 Toyota Prius for $1950. It has some passenger damage and a missing mirror. It has a clean carfax, but the accident that it was in to lose the mirror was not on the report. It runs and is otherwise a clean looking car. What do ya'll think? Pic related, here is the damage.

I would give the seller shit for not having a valid accident report, get them to either fix the damage for you or lower the price considerably
>>16218065
Also if you want an early 2000s poorfag hybrid you should get an Insight instead

I planned on trying to talk them down on the mirror, but it's already $2000 below the market value and the repair will only be ~$50. I have been looking around for a car under $2500 and so far this is the best I have found. I haven't seen any Insight's for sale in my price range.

Do you need a hybrid?
The Prius is a rather soulless vehicle, and I would recommend you go with something different.
>>16218065
Just spend more on a nicer one faggot.
>>16218118
I am simply looking for the nicest vehicle under $2500, I had a '04 Pontiac Vibe that I loved, but I had to go and run it into the side of another car. I am only getting $2600 on the total loss. There has been nothing but garbage in the 500mi radius I have been looking in. The fuel economy is a big draw. I know I shouldn't expect anything great in that price range, but I would like something nice, less than 20 years old, and runs well.

Well played. I would do that if I had the money. Something something your a faggot something insulting reply something. Honestly, I don't want to take out a loan and just need a daily driver.
>>16218181
you can get a good non-crashed civic for 2500-3k.
I am going to bump the thread with the rest of my pics of the car.
>>16218199
Well, I have been looking, and I have found jack. People have been holding on to Civics and the prices I've seen have been have been $4k.
>>16218202
May I ask where you are located?
I can browse craigslist for you to find the best car in your pricerange.
>>16218209

Thanks for the help everyone btw. Ya'll are alright.

I'll check them out, thank you!

If you want something actually fun in the price range, check this out:

Granted it will chug fuel quite fast, but it does have lower mileage than those civics.

This Integra is another fun car in the price range, and is actually pretty damn good on fuel.
The issues I forsee for you:
>Manual
>Modified, likely raced
>>16218270
That's true, but that's a pretty awesome car. I am a boring family dude, but it would nice to have something with some thump.
>>16218278
It doesn't get more boring family than this.

This car is cheaper than most other Impalas I see, but the giant red flag I can see is that it has very high mileage.
The only reason why I am showing you is that it APPEARS to be quite a bit nicer than the other cars in that price range.
Lol, ain't that the truth. I have been jumping on the good looking cars, only to find out it was too good to be true. I appriciate the help, I owe you a beer.
>>16218396
If you ever make the purchase, be sure to post it on /o/.
Just be ready to have it insulted to hell, as we are all autists here
>>16218404
Check rodge!
OP I would not buy that Prius. It's a ticking maintenance bomb that could cost a fortune to repair. Like having to replace the batteries. I've heard they only last ten years. It's 11 years old, almost 12.

Here are my suggestionsj
>>16218635
that Civic would be a great pick up
>>16218661
I am going to check out the civic and the focus right now, thank ya'll so much.
Well, they sold the civic, but it also had a hole in the radiator, so might have been more trouble than it was worth. I'll keep following up on these leads guys, thanks!
