Separate names with a comma.
Probably 15-30 years – the car is a keeper for me personally b/c of the 12V battery in the back for inverter use. Up to 1200W for use that can be...
Are you suggesting this gen Prius isn't durable from a time standpoint? Or just not worth it from a financial standpoint. Or save in...
There's a pristine condition Prius I'm looking to fly to California to buy, and then keep around NYC & occasionally visit family in upstate NY in...
That EGR tip is very useful. Would have totally missed that if it wasn't for this forum and you guys! There was just a recent thread of someone...
Third Gen Prius Maintenance Schedule Here is a good summary of the scheduled maintenance for the Gen3 Prius up to 120,000 miles. Worth noting:...
I mean 100k miles at 12k miles a year is 8.33 years so 1,000 miles a month. Or about 50 miles a day M-F.
Extended warranty plans are disreputable. I think just socking away $30-50 a month over 5 years makes more sense. It seems the major issue is the...
Did your problems happen because of the EGR system?
Since I'll be on the road a lot, & it seems to be a little tricky, I might just end up throwing the ~$1k every 100k miles or so to get it replaced...
"and don't get me started on going 10,000 miles before a change." I think the Prius on synthetic oil is supposed to be changed every 10k miles.
I will say that the maintenance on this car seems a lot more than I remember on the older Toyotas circa 2001-2003 and before. I don't remember...
Is this something you'd need a lift or jack stands for?
How often do you check that (miles/time), and and how much would it cost for a mechanic/Toyota dealer to fix that? Also: "Engine misfire upon...
Could be. I'm guessing it has something to do with California emissions standards being ridiculously high so the catalytic converter which would...
Also: "The EGR valve can sludge up and the exhaust manifold costs a king’s ransom when it needs replacement on high-mileage models." How to...
lol, it's fine. Every other manufacturer is plagued with issues too - even Honda. Honda's quality has gone downhill too. Toyota's quality decline...
So $1649 total? Are they Toyota cells? Is the mpg less than if you use Toyota brand?
I can't do the oil change myself because I'll be on the road mainly/no garage/no tool. And it seems removing the oil cover is fussy unlike older...
Ah ok – so the MOA goes into oil cap. Re: BG EPR - wouldn't have the tools/lift/stands to drain the oils I think. Car will mainly be parked on...
