Goodbye old Prius... onto the next chapter?

Well… after 414k miles, it’s time to say goodbye to my trusty Prius :sob:. She gave me everything and then some. Second time I’ve had one cross 400k, and honestly it feels bittersweet. Just picked up a newer Toyota (10 years newer!) and hoping she’s just as loyal. Anyone else get weirdly emotional about their cars lol?


414k ain’t too bad at all… I’d say she gave you everything she had.

Right? She really did. Feels weird letting go though.

If I don’t hit at least a million miles, I’m not even satisfied lmao.

At least you stayed loyal to Toyota! Gotta respect that.

Lol yeah… total confirmation bias. This was my second Prius hitting 400k! Hoping the new one keeps the streak alive :crossed_fingers:

If you haven’t already, you should look into Toyota’s production culture. It’s wild how much pride they put into their cars!

Yeah, I stopped eating in my car after learning about that… makes a difference for sure.

That mileage is amazing! What year was your old Prius?

Nice! I lose track of the gens lol. Did you have to replace the hybrid battery or just basic stuff?

@Rowen
No major stuff honestly. Just a gasket once. I got super lucky :four_leaf_clover:.

Man, I feel this… I’m at 440k+ and everything is falling apart but she just won’t die :joy:

It would literally take me like 100 years to hit 400k miles at the rate I drive lol
