Third Generation Prius PROBLEMS! Should YOU Still Buy One? A Prius Dealer/Technician Recommendation

WiLLCar
youtube

We own a car dealership and have had HUNDREDS of Prius. I have learned a lot along the way. In this video, I recap the content of my two “Prius morning death knock“ videos and explain how I would handle the issue if I personally owned a third generation Prius, and explain whether or not I would still buy one, knowing all that I know, and why.

I love these cars with a passion, and am in regular community with other Prius technicians/dealership owners/experts. I humbly offer you my knowledge and educated opinion on the sensitive subject of the third generation Prius issues. I hope you enjoy. For anyone who does not enjoy, or does not agree, please understand that my mind on this matter will not be changed, there is no need to argument or negative comments. I work on these cars every day, and love them regardless of their known issues. Thank you
