Headgasket blown, starting to overheat. 2012 gen 3 Prius

if you can't do the work yourself, sell it and make due with the best non hybrid you can afford.

 

Please generations reason fours cost money to keep on the road It's just that simple.

 

In Sacramento your way up there but you're in California You could find a 95 Corolla in perfect condition and it'll outlast you you'll sell it to keep up with the Joneses only. Seriously that's not a joke You're 23 my 95 Corolla could last you until you're 70 very easily You would be forced out of it just to keep up with others at some point that would be it.

 

Your best bet is to get it to Gasketmasters asap and quit driving it until then. If it can be saved with a head gasket then go for it. If not, sell it as is and get a reliable non hybrid.

I'm telling you if your brain will allow you look hard in California in your area you will find a 93 to 6 Corolla LE probably with the sunroof in your market with the nice seats and the 7AFE 1.8 l engine that car could carry me to the next millennia I let mine go to a friend of mine that needed it at the time what I thought more than I did and was one of the worst things I ever did that car drove everywhere had nice seats in it clean carpet a sunroof ice cold air conditioning electric windows You didn't have to worry about the car even though mine was clean as all get out it was worth nothing so I could go four wheeling with it take it in the woods drive it up and down trails and it was still clean as a pin. There's a lady right down the street from me at the old folks home her and her husband have one It's gold like the ugly Prius with the tan velor interior It is in mint condition with a sunroof and everything I told that old lady the minute you get ready You call me right down here I'm literally I can see you almost from my house You let me know No issue I will take the car even if you wreck it call me first It's a gold mine gets almost 30 mi to the gallon and needs no maintenance oil changes of course for y'all but maintenance is nothing wheel bearings last forever fuel pumps go 200,000 mi so on and so forth but see people aren't looking at this stuff on vehicles they just want a 2019 such and such and so and so.

 

Trying to figure stuff like this out is more fun than Wordle; anyone get it?

It’s post #3, not just a snippet; it’s the whole dang thing.

 

These generation 3 Priuses cost money to keep on the road. It is just that simple.
