My 2004 has 110,000 trouble-free miles on it and still runs like new. You do want to check that the car you're looking at hasn't been in a bad accident or flood.
2004 Prius MPG from the logbook. (Complete years only):
2003-2004 -- 50.8 mpg 17,628 miles
2005 -- 52.6 mpg 14,688 miles
2006 -- 56.3 mpg 16174 miles
2007 -- 57.3 mpg 18384 miles
2008 -- 59.9 mpg 21755 miles
2009 -- 61.4 mpg 16177 miles
The Prius only needs a minimal amount of maintenance. Mostly it consists of an oil change and tire rotation. No more expensive than a Corolla.
