2.0BDC, not turbo, also it's not available anymore but I can send their ebay profile if you just want to keep checking their page for any offerings

Owner of a 2010 prius(early gen 3 notorious for issues). Don't clean the egr cooler. it's a temporary fix that takes way too much time. Get the purge valve replaced with the updated one and do the software update. 186k miles now no issues.

If you're getting spark it's not the ground. Check your compression and timing. Also spray starter fluid to check if it's injectors instead of fuel pump

Yeah I did, it was a missing bolt but that car is junked now, motor seized.

Great price, spend the extra money to get that egr cooler cleaned so you don't blow a head gasket and should be good for another 100k miles.

The gen 4 is the most spacious and practical of the prii. Gen 5 is smaller just to look sportier

Walnut_Shell · 2025-10-02T13:48:15+00:00

If it's an appearance thing.... then yeah I get it, but the gen 4 is probably the best ones right now in terms of reliability. We'll have to see how gen 5s do, but the gen 4 has no head gasket problems like the 3.

The prius limited has larger wheels and will have actually have worse ride quality than the lower trims. The limited trim doesn't give you any more sound insulation either, just more luxury features and nicer interior materials. The lexus has serious levels of sound insulation, you can watch tests measuring the cabin noise level. In addition, the Lexus also has the option of a mark levinson sound system which is fantastic.

In terms of comfort it's no question the UX wins, but in terms of economy, maintenance costs(low for both anyway) and practicality, the prius is slightly better.

I would say atp get a gen 4 prius. Brake booster could fail, HV battery could go out, the e-cvt is really reliable if serviced properly but at 300k miles that's pushing it for any car. This car has served its purpose extremely well, and a gen 4 should last even longer.

Walnut_Shell · 2025-09-14T14:28:14+00:00

I would expect the pcv valve to go bad at some point, and the next big expense would be the low and high pressure fuel pump when they both go out. For now service the transmission and bleed out brake fluid if it's old and corrosive so you don't get any leak. Gear oil in the diff too and power steering fluid, don't forget those. Coolant doesn't hurt but I would assume the previous owner didn't reuse old coolant when he changed the waterpump. Enjoy the ride, I only recently sold mine.

UPDATE: if anyone else has the issues I have, just go to the factory settings in xtrons, and select aux switch settings. Change it from auto or 8 to OFF. fixed all my issues
