I bought a 2012 V the beginning of 2020. 136k miles. I should've done more homework. Within a month or two I had taken it on a 500+ miles trip. Oil level was down to the tip of the stick. Battery degrading code. Water pump failed right at 150k. I replaced myself, so not too bad. $125. New front struts last year at the dealer. $800-$900. The oil consumption is really bad still. 500 miles at 70mph and you better have a couple more quarts handy. If an unaware person had bought this car, they wouldn't killed it in 1000 miles. Luckily, I have just kept it running and dealt with the issues. Just did brakes all around myself. I'm thinking of driving it until it dies and replace the engine with a 2015+ and getting either a new Toyota battery or the new Lithium conversions. The body and interior are beautiful, and it's a Five trim level. Sitting at 179,000 miles now.
