Last April after a series of bizarre circumstances, I sold my silver 2007 Prius with 150K miles to a man from Hungary who was looking to drive from Boston to Seattle and then fly home. It was the perfect car, a 6-change CD player, leather seats, JBL sound system, very well taken care of. I’m posting to see if anyone in Seattle or really anywhere in the upper west coast may have bought this car. Some nights I get sad thinking she may have ended up in a scrap yard. I can provide VIN number if helpful.

ETA: not looking to buy this car back, just curious how she’s doing out there :’)

A mechanic pointed out that all the clips are missing in my back seat row above the hybrid battery. Are they necessary for safety? If they’re important, where should I look to replace them?

Looking at buying a used 2014 insight, and I’m worried this might be priced too low, like, they know something is wrong with it but aren’t telling me. Looks great in the photos and description. Owner says there’s only one small rust spot, and car has been well maintained for oil changes and maintenance. The reason I’m suspicious: VINCheck says it’s a salvage. (Can I always trust VINCheck?)
