Around 131,557 miles. I'm the original owner, a non-smoker. Great condition, clean, garaged, well maintained, including oil changes every 3,000 miles. All maintenance records are available.
Sticker price for new car was $36,000.
Price includes 17" Yokohama tires on original alloy wheels.
I prefer the feel of 15-inch snow tires, so they are on the car. The new car came with Pirelli 17" low-profile tires on alloy wheels. The Pirelli tires were replaced, one by one, with Yokohama steel-sided tires, which were far more durable than the Pirellis. There are minor scratches on a couple of the alloy wheels.

Issues: a/c must be recharged every year. The headlamp wiper/washer can operate but the motor was disconnected at the owner's request. Trip odometer is stuck at zero. The odometer recently got stuck at 131,557. To support my claim that the stuck odometer is recent, I have a receipt for an oil change 9/13/2011 at odometer 131,498. I bought a new Prius in 9/2011, and I don't need two cars.

Car is on 15" snow tires. Yokohama 17" low profile tires on the original alloy wheels negotiable.
