    Hi all, is it my car's time? I am not a DIY. I have a great mechanic (I think) that has done a lot of work with taxi drivers over the years and therefore has experience with Prius v. He gave me a roundabout of $4000 (CAD) to fix gasket, replace sparkplugs, and other stuff I can't remember. He did a clean of the EGR at around 225,000km if I remember correctly. The problem is even used cars are so bloody expensive these days...
    I need to decide today. :-(

    if the rest of the car is good, why not keep it running? 4k isn't what it used to be
