Re: 2003 Prius battery life and pre-buy checks?
The problem is with the traction battery, hidden behind the rear sear, in the trunk. You can't visually inspect the battery, so your best bet is to check the car's service records at the Toyota dealership where it was serviced. It was an official recall, so it should have been done, unless they had solved that problem by the 2003 model, I'm not entirely certain what cars were affected by that recall. As long as the car was serviced regularly it should have got the battery service if it needed it.
