    Who has the higest mileage Prius? It would be fun to know what car has the honor?

    With all the exceptional care and attention that is being given to your Prii, I bet that we are going to see some extremely high milage cars eventually.

    I'd be willing to bet I'm out of the running with less than 2,000 miles on mine, but let me submit this guy in my stead:

    LOL Wayne -- no fair. (But that is impressive)

    I had heard about the taxis -- I was wondering about what PC Prius has the most miles?

    nearly 39K, purchased August 2004. I am sure there are quite a few that can beat this.

    I've found a couple of old posts where PeteB had over 72,000 miles, and by now I'm sure tochatihu is over 80,000...

    Unfortunately, I doubt any of the various versions of the car have been out long enough to see much more than that, unless you use it as part of your business or something! :)

    Bought mine in February 2005, and, as of November 5, 2005, I'm at 10,256 miles and counting. I have to go to the supermarket, to pick up a bag of my favorite chips, Nacho Cheese Doritos!! So add a couple of more miles :rolleyes:

    Received in 10/03... 47.5k miles. Tires will need replacing at 55k.
    No issues other than multiple ECU flashes.
