Is a 2009 Toyota Prius a good car to get in 2024? (hexbear.net)

Under 98,000 miles, high MPG, ~$9k. Are the parts common and relatively inexpensive as it's a toyota, or does it suffer from mechanics rarely having parts for electric/hybrid cars? How much would it cost to secure my catalytic converter?

I'll also say that if you want a hybrid with a catalytic convert that's harder to steal, the cat in a Chevy Volt is tucked up in the engine bay between the engine and the radiator. But the Prius gets better mileage, unless you can plug in the Volt to charge it.

Either way, you should paint a cool airbrush mural on it
