Lowest mile Gen 2 Prius. 5,156 miles. Back on the road after sitting 12 years.

Gotcha. Ok, that makes more sense.

Looks like we'll be keeping it in the family for now. While it is running and driving, still more clean up to do.

 

Here ya go.

At the time of these pics all I did was vacuum it and spray down with some water and a rag.

The center armrest I did clean up with water and a scrub brush in the sink Just to test what was spilled on it. I think it's hot chocolate. I'll ask the original owner next time I see him.

 

Was pretty mouse-y when I first got it. I 've spent days cleaning and deodorizing the interior since then.
To get a deep cleaning, I stripped out all of the rear interior panels, the battery pack,and most brackets. Also removed glove box, climate control fan, etc up front and sanitized there as well. Did 2 very short ozone treatments.
The smell is mitigated but not perfect yet.
Will be deep cleaning fabric throughout this week and I'll reassess after that.

 

Took it in for an oil change yesterday at the same dealership the car was purchased from and had all previous maintenance done at.

And today Toyota updated the online service history .

So now these are the 2 most recent maintenance records.
12 years between the oil changes, but only 291 miles.

 

@TinyTim
The customer bought a New Prius in August 2006.

This customer did not like the idea of oil sitting in his car longer than around 6 months.

So he consistently brought it in based on time rather than miles.

That accounts for the 13 oil changes from 2006 to 2013.

In 2013 he bought a new Plug in Prius.

He then parked the 2006 in the back of his driveway and stopped driving it.

Over the years mice got in it, 12v battery died, etc. So it simply just sat there while he continued to drive the 2013 Plug in Prius.

He called me to do some diagnostic work on his 2013, and while I was there he asked if I could remove/buy the old 2006. Which I did.

The owner is still alive and well. In fact I'm still helping him with his 2013 Prius.

 

I had a coupon.
5w-30 oil.
$88.00.
I could have gone for full synthetic for over $120.
- They also found about $1,300 in possible repairs. I said I could do any of those repairs myself if needed.
- They provide a full Carfax for free.
- Also a car wash.
- And they tell you the trade in value in case you want to sell. They said about $4,500.

He kind of laughed saying he knew it was worth more than that.

I said I had an offer of $10,000 before I even started doing any work on it. He said it'd easily get $10,000. Since it could be sold for more than that on the lot.
