Our youngest son and his wife have been looking for a more economical car that the old pickup they have been driving. So, looking in their state of Idaho and us in Oregon we finally found one here. It's a little 2007 Prius. We were able to get a good price for them because it had been wrecked and the interior was in really bad shape. but.....from certain angles it doesn't look too bad.
The front end had some cosmetic damage from someone backing into it with a big truck.
I took it to a mechanic and he checked it out and found, minus all the wreck damage and the smell inside, it was in fairly good shape.
A little bailing wire and twine was holding it together precariously.
There was a lot of garbage, dog accidents and such inside. The smell was horrendous, but I figured it was all fixable with a lot of time and elbow grease.
After we purchased it and three solid days of cleaning and body repairs, it looks better but the smell is only down be about 50%. More work needed there.
Ann and I will drive it out to Idaho soon to deliver it to #5 son. Good excuse to see the two grand kids out there!
