Hope everyone is doing well. I bought a prius last year at the end of 2015 brand new. I now have 12,000 miles on it. I am currently looking at property. Currently living in Illinois and found a nice place in Munster Indiana. The taxes in illinois are insane! Living in Munster i would be saving close to 3000.00 a year just on property taxes. Wondering how long the prius would last traveling 71 miles a day? In 4 or 5 years what do you guys thibk could go wrong and what the cost of a new hybrid battery would be?
Sure, drove at least 110 miles a day for over 4 years until I retired, the car is fine, I wore out. Do Toyota scheduled service. Change the ATF WS at 30,000 miles then 90,000 miles then every 90,000. Miles. If the 12 volt battery hints it is old swap it out For the hext 88,000 miles or 6 years your hybrid battery cost is 0 if it fails.
