Let's not clog this thread with too many "congratulations", but rather allow those folks who've hit 100k miles to post their stories.
Please include purchase date, Model year, mileage of course, any problems you've had (I'm sure most of you've had to replace your traction battery ), and just your general impressions, satisfaction level, etc. A link to a mileage record or your estimated lifetime MPG would be great too.

I just bought a 2008 #2, get it delivered next week...Anywho,the dealer has a Prius shuttle for customers who need rides and such while waiting for their car to be serviced. It has 213,000 miles on it! That car runs all day everyday! Being the pessimist I am, I said "well how much money did you have to put into it to keep it alive?" Supposedly, they have done nothing to it! I think it's a 2002 if I remember correctly.

We just hit 160,000 kms (100,000 miles) on our 2001 Prius here in Japan. For Japan, this is considered very high mileage - you don't see too many cars here with over 100,000 kms no matter how old. Come to think of it - you don't see many old cars here at all!

We have decided to keep it - its been trouble free except for a wheel alignment problem we had a few months ago (went through 2 sets of front tires in 6,000 kms). But the dealer finally admitted the problem was theirs and we are now set with new tires and the wheels properly aligned and they covered all of the costs.

While the car was in for the alignment and a regular service check, they gave us a 2008 Allion 1.8 litre sedan. It was very strange driving a 'normal' car again. When we took it back, I explained that if they were trying to sell me a new car, they should not have given me a non-hybrid with a fuel consumption gauge. Our Prius sips fuel at the rate of 24 kms/liter and the Allion was showing 12.3 kms/liter (its a similar sized car).

They told us that the Prius had a clean bill of health - the battery was showing almost a full charge and the car checked out fine.

I thanked them and told them that it helped me decide to keep our Prius for another 2 years and next time they should provide a new Prius as a loaner - I may have bought it. The guy look a little embarrassed and said that they can't use a Prius as a loaner because they are still selling so fast they can't keep up with demand. There were none on the lot and they said its still a 2 month wait to order one.

I'm happy to keep this car for another 2 years - maybe more if it keeps running the way it has been. I commute about 100 kms (about 60 miles - one way) into Tokyo and back 2 or 3 times a week and its been a pleasure to drive with fuel at about $5.00/gallon and climbing.

We are thinking of trading our Mitsubishi Delica diesel van (gets about the same MPG as the Allion) in for an Estima Hybrid van and will start looking for a used one in the next couple of weeks.

I will never reach 100,000 miles in my Prius. After 3 1/4 years I'm about to hit 20K. And next month the Prius will become my gas-guzzler and be relegated to out-of-town and road trips as the Xebra SD becomes my daily driver.

Ha, I've owned my 2007 for 11 months and 1 day, and I've already put on almost 27K miles. And you've barely hit 20K. I'll be joining the 100K club in another 3-4 years, guaranteed. Unless I end up buying another Prius in 09 or 10 and giving this one to my future spouse.

One of the crappy things about living in Southern California - the need to drive everywhere and no decent public transportation system (thanks GM for helping to kill off the Pacific Electric).

If you want the marriage to succeed, your future spouse should be driving the new car.

She's flexible - I doubt she'll care. Although I must say, I would rather keep my car so I can continue to use the carpool lane.

Just got to 100,600 miles a few days ago.. BUT.... My Check engine light just came on!!! I am hopeing... that it is just a automatic light that turns on at 100,000miles to make you give it a check up! I hope!..

I mean it is driving fine right now... Anyone else experience this... I really don't want it to be an actual problem..

127K and counting..

89K on my hydroedges.. should be able to get another 20K out of them.. very impressed..

Evan,

I managed to get 44.5k on my Integrities, and 55k on my Michelin MXV4+ (They could have gone 60k, but snow approaches). Now riding on new Nokian WRs as "MakesMeLookSmart" is at 101.3k miles.
