2010 toyota prius
we've owned the car since 2011 and had no major mechanical repairs until recently, with 112,000 miles on the odometer i noticed it was low on oil between changes while checking other fluids under the hood. It had been down 3 quarts and yet still stayed running. We added enough oil in order to get by for a few more days, and after a Professional evaluation found we needed a new engine as ours had a blown head gasket and was leaking, and the repairs for this motor would be almost as much as a newer lower mileage motor. So we opted for a newer, lower mileage engine to be swapped out. I have seen plenty of these model years and older with over 200k miles on them and they seem to be almost indestructible, i guess we just had a little bad luck with ours? We are putting another engine in and expect to get at least another 112,000 miles and more out of it, and hopefully be our daughters first car when she turns 16.
