I keep getting the Best buy ad's too, last week it was dodge ads.
ZJerry that sounds like a great deal, I would have jumped on it too. I just bought 2 for about 90 used from a local shop. My fronts don't last either.
77GP Jerry I was gonna make spaghetti and meatballs today too but decided against it and had leftovers since my wife was at work til 8.

I'm gonna start doing some additional work to get some more hours so I spent my day watching training videos. The videos are somewhat boring but do give some good tips. I'm not working tomorrow so i'm gonna finish Christmas shopping...well at least carrying my wife's bags while she shops.lol

Well that good to know. Maybe it's just something really simple. I'm going to see what I can do this weekend too get it back on the road. It doesn't really have THAT many miles on it either, 117K.

What are common problems with the Prius? It's a 2007.

Thanks!

There really isn't too many.They fair reliable for the most part.They ecm will throw a code for anything that goes wrong.Make sure theres oil in it too.If it's low it will throw the mil on an keep the engine from running at higher rpms.The maf is touchy too if anything gets on it it will keep the engine at idle or not on at all.(k&N filters are not good for toyota maf sensors)Those are the first things that pop to my mind.
Hope it helps

Thanks for the insight. It's been a perfectly reliable car thus far. (except for the stupid HID headlights burn out about every 40K and cost a grip to replace). It sounds like there is good potential its nothing overly major.
