How Many Miles Should I Expect On My "05" Prius?

So can I put a newer model engine on a 2004 Prius?

 

No, only 2004 thru 2009 1.5 liter engines will work.

 

Well that answers my question anyway. But yes I meant can I out any gen 2 engine on a 2004 Prius

Bought a used 2005 Prius with around 60,000 mils on it in 2010 for around 10K. In Texas, near Houston/Dallas. Fairly hot climate. After that I have been living in Portland Oregon. The sales people tried to push an extended warranty on me. I said "I prefer the risk" hehehe. Prius had a very good reputation already at that point. Fast forward to 2025. I have over 300,000 miles on the car. I had to replace the large battery once and have had other repairs, nothing too big, just repair due to aging. I did lose the cat. converter to theft and installed a shield over the new one.

I almost want the car to die so I can buy a Tesla. I love the Prius for the life expectancy and the gas mileage. I also love it for the fold down back seats. I have fit many a large object into that car, never having to rent a truck. Than you Toyota! Hoping to get another 100k - 200K miles out of it. .I'm going to gift my Prius to my 16 year old son in about 3 years if it's still alive.

Yes, it burns oil, around a quart every 5,000 miles.
Only get around 38MPG now. Was around 42-43MPG when I bought it.
I've recommended used Prius to many people.

 

I have 430k km (~270k miles) on my 2005; original traction battery, engine, transaxle. Bought with 38k km in 2012; list of repairs:

Front wheel bearings twice
Drive side CV
Front struts
Rear shocks 3x
Muffler
Center display
Fixed the combo meter (0.20 cap and and afternoon of disassbly/reassembly)
Front and rear brakes once
Spark plugs and egr @ 270k km
Water pump once
12V battery twice

...for > 250k miles of driving

Original front suspension, rear wheel bearings, rad, thermostat.....the list goes on.

Still runs; exhaust has a leak, rust is starting to eat it....but still starts and gets me around while consuming 5L/100k.

Highly, highly recommended!
