I m very skeptical about Prius now. Bought 2010, drove 35 k miles until head gasket blew and the engine is done. Changed oil religiously, head gasket is a common problem of gen 3 Prius, mine blew most likely because egr was clogged earlier. Mechanic cleaned it-but it failed anyways. To change engine 5000-7000$. I wouldn’t plan on driving past 220 k miles. Mechanic says most Prius cars he changes engines on are around 220 k miles, they can last longer but you gotta make sure you know the history of the car and if it was taken care of. And avoid the years they have most problems. Also if you pay mechanic to change oil-it’s not cheap. It had to be fully synthetic and in Cali it’s 100$ to change it.
