Got my 97 Celica gt convertible, 236, 000 miles for $1200. Just drove down to Florida from Pennsylvania, over 900 miles, did not miss a beat and burned zero oil. Achieved 33 mpg. The 2.2 engine in it is incredibly robust.

"Buy a Toyota... don't buy a Toyota... but wait, buy a Toyota.... except, don't buy a Toyota..."
This is all so very confusing, lol.

My Toyota Prius just reached 200k miles "and I'm mad as hell"

[jimmysmithers]

There is a NYC taxi with over 600, 000 miles on his Prius and it still has the original Hybrid Battery and engine. Google 600, 000 mile Prius.

Heat and not driving the car will kill off the hybrid battery. Keeping the hybrid cooling fan filters clean is important and drive the car consistently.

Scotty, my buddy's 2009 Prius just turned 440K still same battery and it's the lead core. He had wheel bearing go out but that is all. His wife has a 2017 Prius Prime with 80K and still has the same rear tires. They are a great car. I take my 2017 Prius in next week for the 70K oil change and check up and I am averaging 62.4 MPG. I did have to change the small battery and all 4 tires at 50K. I love these cars. This is my second one.

Back in 2016, I bought a 306k Mile Honda Civic Hybrid for $1800. I drove it until it had 429k. I liked it!

I bought a Camry hybrid last summer. Works great with over 256, 000 miles, same battery, and gets good gas milage.

I got a used one 3 year old 20000 miles, and still with engine and battery warranty.
Cleaned the hybrid battery, the fan and then got a mesh filter outside in order to avoid trash to go in to the fan.
You just need to know what you are buying, know how to take care of the basics and get the right price (impossible these days).

I owned a fleet of Toyota/Lexus hybrid called Envirocars. I have two Prius (Prii) one is affectionately called ApolloPrius because it has 682K miles and the other one at 440K miles--both are taxi prior. The 440K miles still has original powertrain and hybrid battery.

Scotty sir, look at the live data under the hybrid system and scroll down to delta state of charge. If it's at 0 (zero) means the hybrid battery is in excellent condition. Delta State of Charge is different than State of Charge which fluctuates and is perfectly normal.

My friend still has the first year '97 Prius and still runs the original battery. That's 26 years.

[danielgriffin]

2007 200.000 runs great 👍 uses half quart oil a year .replaced both cooling pumps, $200.00. tires 12 volt battery windshield wipers. I've had it five years. Going for another five years gets 46 miles per gallon.

EV mode on a Prius is just for scaring the crap out of people walking in parking lots.

[bradlopez]

Idk my Prius is almost 20 years old 😂 300k still running strong

[ohcanadaeh]

Engine compartment looks excellent for 220, 000 miles.

[wturner]

I bought the 2010 Prius 2 years ago at 168k miles, just like the one in this video, and I can definitely confirm. The major repairs I had to get done since ownership were the braking system and new spark plugs with all the coils. Other than that it keeps going and going like the Energizer bunny, now at 208k miles!

Scotty is 100% that anyone wanting a Japanese car should try and get a made in Japan version. I remember a friend's dad who works for Toyota a the Camry factory even said that. Back when Toyota had the Camry "Made in America Edition", no Toyota employee I knew advised getting one.

Several years ago, my diesel Dodge 2500 was in the shop. I needed a rental car, so I picked a Prius mainly because I wanted to see what it was like and also to figure out why Prius drivers always seem to be the slowest on the SoCal freeways. To my utter surprise, I found the Prius in Power mode to be on the quick side and was easily able to pass on the freeway . (I suspect Prius owners put it in Eco mode and then watch the economy meter, and that's what makes them slow on the freeways.) Everything was where it should be on the car, and overall, it was a very good experience. I would consider a hybrid that wouldn't run out of charge and leave me stranded, but I wouldn't even consider a total EV.

I have 202, 000 on my 2011 Prius and am planning to give it to my son graduating high school this year. I changed out the Hybrid battery in 2017. I'm hoping it continues mostly trouble-free through his college years and beyond with at least another 150, 000 miles.
