Hi, I am trying to purchase a toyota prius alpha 7 seater run about 130k of 2013 model. I also heard that the toyota is discontinuing this model from march 2021. If so, can we get spare parts available irrespective of its discontinuance? Also is it advisable to buy this 130k run vehicle for about 11k ? Also do you know any knonwn issues with this toyota prius alpha 7 seater and also if you know whether it has lithium battery or NI-MH battery?

HI there,
The price for this vehicle would seem attractive and 130km's is not too high for a 2013 vehicle. As most of these vehicles are Japanese domestic imports- there are very little specs and information available. There should be still plenty of parts available either new or used from Japan if NZ suppliers or wreckers don't have any. This model ran from 2011-2016.
