Used Toyota Prius for Sale in Los Angeles, CA

My 2008 Prius was originally a vehicle that was used as a taxi cab. After coming near to the end of its life and also being involved in a fender bender, my Dad, who owned the cab, took the car out of commission and swapped it with another for use in his taxi. The Prius was given a paint job back to its white color from the yellow it was painted and handed down to us.

My Prius is a bit of a let down for me. When looking for my first car I did all of this research and was told that Honda and Toyota were the best places to go because their cars were low maintenance. I love the design of the car. I love the gas mileage. What I don't like is the cost of maintenance I have had. Because the technology of cars is advancing so quickly, it seems that the cost for simple replacement items is astronomical. I had to spend $600 to replace a whole part in the car when all that was broken was the valve on the piece, but oh no, Toyota doesn't sell just the valve. What?! The computer system also stopped working, but I was told by the guy at the dealership that replacing it would be at least $1000 to replace because, of course, it is technically a computer. I am not done paying off the vehicle yet and the amount of maintenance and repairs has gotten to be way to much. I don't plan on buying another Prius or maybe even another Toyota product if they do things like refusing to sell valves when that is all that is needed.
