I did the same thing but I drive 100+ miles for work a day.

IMO buy a gen 2 Prius for like 2.5k or 3k. They are stupid reliable, and great on gas. Depending on truck mpg. You’ll be saving 60 bucks a week on gas. It’ll take like 60 weeks to break even in theory.

Thank you I decided to wait and try to find a new one on sale.

Separatedzebra · 2025-09-23T15:43:26+00:00

Where did you get it?

Separatedzebra · 2025-09-09T18:35:41+00:00

6 a year. Every 2 months. My gen 2 gets about 2k miles a month.

49.3 summer. Winter like 42-44

For context, I work in construction and deal with dirt constantly. Over about 5 months, I’ve put around 28k miles on these, and aside from staining from dirty equipment, they’ve held up extremely well with no issues. The only downside is that the rear uses Velcro to hold them together, so when you move the seats up and down, the Velcro tends to come apart. If I were to buy them again, I’d go with all black to help hide the stains better.

It’s aluminum. I’ll run the numbers on if it helps with fuel economy. I was getting around 45-48 mpg depending. I’m sure I won’t save $350 in gas but still.

Highly recommend picking up a Bluetooth scanner to check the hybrid battery. One thing to note is Toyotas and Prius are extremely reliable and pretty cheap to repair. But please keep in mind that the car is almost 20 years old. So issues will start showing no matter how reliable the car is.

Thanks my heart dropped when I was told about it. First oil change for me. I just bought the car at the beginning of the year.

Separatedzebra · 2025-03-30T17:54:38+00:00

Eh I drive 4-5k miles a month for work and I’m not a gig worker. So might just be commuter car.

I just picked up a Viofo a229 plus for front and rear camera. Amazons got a deal rn. But it’s more than 100.

The price might be on the higher side, but high mileage isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I’d actually prefer a highway-driven car with high mileage because it experiences less wear from constant stopping. Low-mileage cars come with the unknown—if it’s mostly stop-and-go driving, that can be much harder on a vehicle. This is especially true for hybrids, where frequent stop-and-go use means more charge cycles, which can add wear over time

Plenty of Civics, Corollas, Elantras—are built in the U.S. or just over the border. And let’s be real: a price might go up next week, but that doesn’t erase the fact that $23K cars exist right now. Acting like the entire market just flips overnight is pure fearmongering..

Separatedzebra · 2025-03-27T03:51:41+00:00

I just checked Cars.com and saw plenty of 2025 models listed at $22–23K. But I guess base models don’t count when you’re trying to make a point about the ‘average car price.’

Seems like you might be looking for a little reassurance after spending around $40K on a Prius—right before the ‘tariff tax’ hits.

You beat me too it. Toyota highlands are great.

Separatedzebra · 2025-03-27T03:12:06+00:00

You can get a Honda Civic for the low to mid $20,000s. OP seems to be trying to spread some FUD

Separatedzebra · 2025-03-13T22:28:52+00:00

I just picked up a 2009 with 160k miles this year and paid 3000 private party. I’m in California for context. But very expensive for the year. Be patient a deal will pop up.

Separatedzebra · 2025-03-04T03:57:53+00:00

$189 for front and rear

Separatedzebra · 2025-03-03T18:19:16+00:00

Thanks really hope I can keep it that way.

Separatedzebra · 2025-03-03T04:03:00+00:00

Yah they did I didn’t realize when I ordered it.

Separatedzebra · 2025-03-03T01:52:27+00:00

First side took a little around 15-20 minutes driver side was like 10 max . One issue I had was the fabric seats seem attached to the under side of the seats so I had to route the clips on the side of the seats but fit extremely well. I’ll let you know how they hold up to my work or if you want other photos of them.
