I am sure this topic has been beaten to death by now but ...
would that be a waste of money even if it's "only" $700?
According to consumer reports Prius is very solid in reliability + some of the "electric" components have warranty to 7 or 10 years (?)
in other words, what are the chances of something breaking down 4, 5, 6, 6 1/2 years from now that would cost more then $700 to fix?
to me that probability is high but I could be wrong.
how are 2001-2003 prius holding nowadays?
any help is appreciated.
thanks to those who responded to my previous question

Interesting isn't it that to sell you the car you're told how reliable and trouble free the car is, and on the other there's the sense of impending doom when your milage starts climbing over 50,000. I think it will depend on how confident you are in the car. I am, but on the other hand I did buy the extended warranty in 2006 because in the '05's I think it was which had problems.
Not helpful, I'm sure.
