From what I read, Toyota keeps the hybrid traction batteries between 40-80% for longevity. This makes sense for modern batteries. If I understand...
@ChrisPR77 In answer to your question, I've had the car for 2 weeks thus far, and I live in the upper midwest. Cold temperatures + driving in rain...
Buying salvage cars is tricky because you don't know exactly what happened to it, how thoroughly it was diagnosed after the accident, or what was...
2nd water pump replacement in 13 months would be a concern for me. If the first one was the recall, it may mean the shop missed something or...
It's interesting that there are complaints about the seats. I just got my 2009 (Gen 2) Prius a couple weeks ago, and for me the drivers seat is...
Thanks for your comments, Data & srellim! You give good advice. I think instead of treating a certain MPG level as an expectation, I'll treat it...
I've had my car for a couple weeks now. After seeing (and hearing) from Prius owners who said they never ever got below 45 miles per gallon, I was...
Okay, cool. :) I agree. My 2009 Prius has 105,500 miles on it and I hope to double that before any major repairs (over $1000) come up.
Pretty good or pretty bad? 3% ends up being 1 in 33 odds, and 15% is roughly 1 in 6 odds of needing a replacement.
I'd lean toward the one with less miles. Battery replaced or not, cars at 250,000 miles are more likely to have a variety if things break down...
In that case, it sounds good! I bought my car a couple weeks ago after having a similar experience. (everything checked out, repair & maintenance...
Well, it certainly makes the Mazda a bad buy, and the Prius is a better buy with the price drop, but the most important factor for older cars is...
I think population density and distance affects vehicle sales as well. When there are a lot of people close together, it makes more sense to buy...
I'm guessing you have high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights? That's a known issue with 2nd-gen Prii. It's by far the most-noted problem for...
A gallon is roughly 3.8 Litres
In the upper midwest US, gasoline prices are around $2.40/gallon, which works out to 0.63 USD per Litre / 0.85 CAD per Litre / 0.51 GBP per Litre
Most of my data is from True Delta. The rest is essentially based on 2 articles, neither of which I can link because the forum isn't allowing me...
At the years and prices you said, the Mazda is a better value.
Pardon me while I dig up a dead thread, but I was interested in the battery failure numbers. Looks like the numbers for those who took the poll...
JimN is right in how to build or rebuild credit. You can also go to a credit card forum at MyFico that gives good advice for that kind of thing....
