    delete me please.

    It's been over a year. According to my calculations, this should be to almost 340k by now if the pace continues. Would love to hear an update.

    My 2012 Prius C is free and clear at 47k miles, so I should easily be free of car payments 5 more years if not 10.

    Nice job paying off! I'm also going to keep mind for 10+ years if not more. 2026 it should be around 265k miles for me. With the way I care for my car it should hit 500k miles original engine,trans,battery.

    I watch bat temps closely and don't cover the rear vent or front intake. I put AC to the floor to get cool air into the intake. I removed the right rear shock tower cover to have more heat escape. I will take the fan out at 100k miles and clean it. I will buy a grid charger and run it once a few years.

    I'm wondering how frontroe is doing. Back in Feb of 2015 he posted 250,000 miles! If I didn't switch to my Lexus, I'd be at 350,000 or so by now. Sure makes ya wonder what could have been!

    I guess frontroe drove off into the sunset (or the wheels fell off). :( I was hoping he'd have some competition by now. I'm still under 52,000k on one of the first models off my lot.

    I am now at 48,000 miles and no issues. Maybe we should do a thread on who has the least miles ;)

    Congrats. Got mine in March, so I'm not too worried about losing in the least mileage stats. This is my sole vehicle, so I think I'm doing okay.

    I had a 2010 Prius prior to this with the shake and rattle problem on cold starts. Traded that in for my current C, which thankfully doesn't have the problem to the extent that did (very minor whereas it was a frightening moment when it happened on the liftback). The dealership wouldn't implement the known fix because they couldn't repeat the problem themselves. That's my only complaint about the Prius experience.
