This situation has let people to concentrate on buying hybrid cars and Toyota Prius seems to be a good choice in the hybrid category of cars. Let's discuss some important things one needs to know before buying a Toyota Prius. 

Toyota Prius is available in 1.5 L internal combustion with the older 2nd generation while 1.8L engine is available with 3rd generation and 4th generation. 

One of the main issues of Toyota Prius is the hybrid battery pack upon which the drive system relies very much. The battery of Toyota Prius plays the main role to get efficient fuel average.

According to Toyota the battery of Toyota Prius should last more than 100,000 miles but the main problem is that the cars available in Pakistan are mostly Japanese imports and the car one buys may has already reached its expiry date. Unfortunately, it is the  odometers of imported cars to hide the actual readings. The solution to this issue is one must verify the auction sheet from a 3rd party service provider which can reveal the actual conditions of the vehicle and the date of when it was imported.

ABS unit is the second main issue of Toyota Prius. Reports suggest a manufacturing fault in brake booster and booster pump which can fail at any time without giving any warning. The solution to this problem is to replace the unit and the booster pump. Such replacements cost the buyer a good amount of money. The other issue that can occur is the availability of such parts in markets as these are imported from other countries and not every mechanic is that well trained to replace these units. 

These are the two main issues you can face if you are eyeing to buy a Toyota Prius. Before buying make sure to check the conditions of battery and ABS unit. If they have been changed recently then it means you won't need to replace it near future that can save your money.
