I currently live in Chicago, Illinois. I applied for a job in Anchorage, Alaska. It will be just me moving.



Currently I drive a 2012 Prius C two. It has 71,000 miles. If I move to Anchorage I have a few different options I am thinking about. I just wish the Prius C had a temperature gauge. I do own the car.



#1. Is the car worth saving or should I just fly and get a new car when I get their? I really don't like this because I can't move as much junk.



#2. Drive the Prius C from Chicago to Anchorage. I am debating on weather I could maybe take a small trailer with? Since Harbor Freight stop selling trailers, not sure what trailer if I could or should use. Maybe a trailer that is designed for motorcycles to tow, but those are on the expensive side. Would want a small cheap trailer.



#3. Rent a Uhaul or other rent a wreck, with a car trailer/dolly.



#4. Fly and have the car shipped. Not sure if the car is worth it.



Another question I know I would need to have an engine block heater installed. Do I need a battery heater or other types of car auxiliary heaters? Where can/could I have them installed?



If anyone has two cents on above or another idea please let me know. Thank you and Happy Hump Day!

 

The heater only cost $50-$100 bucks. What about battery warmer? I would use a timer on the heater.

 

Thanks. Anything on my other questions? Thanks.

 

I would put the batter warmer around the batter and leave it, just plug and unplug it. Also what about oil pain and other heathers? If I got the job in AK, I would get an engine block heater for sure, and see how it works. I have started my 2012 prius C in -10 temp and -30 wind chill. That was after it sat outside all night.

 

From what I been researching Anchorage only has a few days below Zero. Now if I went to Fairbanks that is another game.
