I can't tell you if you should buy or not, but I bought mine 3 years ago with 137k miles, and have had no issues other than routine maintenance.
Get the carfax if you can. From searching the forums, you can see a few with over 200k miles on the original hybrid battery.
Also hybrid battery replacements are getting cheaper every year. If the price is right, and you feel comfortable, I'd say go for it!
I bought mine with 159K its a 2007 I paid only $2,500 + $2,000 to rebuild the battery + $50 for a fuel pump which I replaced myself.
I LOVE THE CAR. No problems at all
If you can afford it I say pull the trigger!! I bought my with 166k and Car IS Unreal. LOVE IT.
If those photos are accurate that one looks mint and great shape. Down side is I can’t read Japanese but hell sooner or later id know which buttons were what.
That steering column gauge is the only questionable thing I see. Never seen that before. But never seen a Right side drive / Asian language model either.

have seen similar gauge in other asian models so i guess its a reguonal thing.,
japanese tend to take very good care of their cars and this has grade 4 in their auction levels which is very close to grade 5(the highest).
awaiting for the car to alive will share my live photos!
fantastic!

Well when I purchased the car it wasnt running because the battery and fuel pump was bad. After I got the battery done, the car ran intermittently. Now I get as high as 19 to 25 in city and highway about 27-39mpg
