    My 2008 with about 153K miles is still on the original traction battery. Gen 2 is so reliable that I am afraid to get anything else!

    2009 Prius, Michigan weather all its life.
    300,000 Miles. Original hybrid battery. 3rd 12 Volt batter.
    Ebay AC a few years ago.
    Tires, wipers are the only expenses. Best car ever and I have many.

    A month ago I bought a clean one owner 2007, always serviced at a dealership (with all records) with a clean bill of health.

    Last week I had to replace the original battery in it with a new one bought from the dealership, so 19 years and ~209K miles. However, judging from the records, looking at dates and mileage readings, this car was not driven much the last few years which probably contributed to the battery issue. Hope to get a long life of commuting out of this car now.

    2007 Prius Touring currently 207K and purchased 13 months ago with 195K. Previous owner(s) had installed a now defunct Nexcell Project Lithium Jack's special highly touted lithium pack at some point. Not long after I purchased it I got a red triangle of death with a failing battery. I ended up buying a new OEM Panasonic pack from Toyota and installed it myself. Currently getting around low 40 mpg.
