Just picked up a 2012 PiP!

Just do a transaxle fluid change and you're good to go until 120k miles. Regular oil changes and filters are all it needs

 

Congrats, @PriusPapi!! And welcome. Leather in a base model would be hard to find.

I agree with @JC91006.

edit to add: If you haven't already done so, you can register at Toyota's owners' website to check on what service records Toyota has and if there are any outstanding recalls. There was one about a year ago for a high voltage fuse in the traction battery.

That’s a great deal for a 2012 PIP at that mileage out here.

Where’d you find that at?

Advice above is solid and I would only add a brake inspection and caliper pin lubrication to that list. If you take care of the brakes and drive ahead utilizing regen braking to a great extent, your original brakes could look like this (from our 2010 non-PIP with 194 k miles):



Enjoy your new to you PIP.

 

Hopefully your brakes won't look anywhere near as bad as the brakes on our Prius v (wagon) when we got it :

Hi all, new Prius v owner | Page 3 | PriusChat

Of course, you don't live anywhere near 'salt central' like we do...so you should be good to go! However, as Ray said it certainly is worth a check.

And BTW...if anyone has rotor rust problems, the zinc plated rotors I have installed are holding up great so far!

BTW - I'm posting this because I *thought* the vehicle was in great condition when we purchased it...but should have looked a bit deeper before getting it.

 

Figured I’d show a pic of ours since it’s in the same area and demonstrates the concept.

I’ve converted a couple of guys at work to a 2015 and a Prime and when I showed them the brakes, they couldn’t believe they were original.

Reminded them that if the dealer says they need new brakes, they need to find another opinion or source of labor for future tasks.

 

Usually any manufacturer maintained owners vehicle profile lists only the records of services done at the dealerships, if the owner get the services at non-manufacturer shops, it doesnt list there. So, dont be panic if Toyota owners site didnt display a whole list of service records.
For example, after 30K, I dont go to the Dealer for oil changes etc unless and otherwise the service cost differs max $20 or so. Also my periodical wheel balancing(ever 6 months) is being done at Wheelworks, which doesnt display on my Toy Owners site.

 

You may want to clean out the egr pipe, it may have some carbon build up and you should get rid of it before it clogs your system. Do a complete egr circuit cleaning at 120k miles

 

congrats and welcome to the pip club! all the best

30k and 60k get air filter service

cabin filter every 15k, so make sure to check those

test the 12v when it's cold and the car has been off overnight. should be above 12.4v

 

Papi, I have your car. Everything I was going to suggest, someone else has already posted. For me, it just runs and doesn't make any fuss.

 

Eight years and change on, around 79K kms, I've yet to change either cabin or engine air filter. Don't pay someone to do that, for sure. And inspect the filter, make an appraisal, don't just blindly change them. Same story for wiper blades: still on the originals.

I have changed the transaxle fluid: three times, which is probably two times too many.

Brakes: Toyota USA suggests an in-depth inspection tri-yearly or 30K miles, whichever comes first. This is not the quick glance over during tire rotation, don't let anyone snow you: there maybe a lot of the braking being done by regen braking, but the brakes do wear, and the caliper pins do dry out. If you follow the schedule you will be in good shape. @NutzAboutBolts has a video on this.

Brake fluid: Toyota Canada recommends to change tri-yearly or 48K kms, whichever comes first. It is relatively easy, there is a method without the need for Techstream (proprietary Toyota software), there's a vdeo here on how to do it by @NutzAboutBolts , and the procedure is outlined in the Repair Manual.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation circuit: yeah, clogging is inevitable, best dealt with before it's royally clogged. See @NutzAboutBolts video on how to clean the "pipe" only, which will give some idea what the rest is like.

Positive Crankcase Ventilation circuit: it tends to barf oil/water/gas mix into the intake manifold. A thorough cleaning of the intake manifold and install of an Oil Catch Can is the best solution. Once more, see @NutzAboutBolts videos.

 

Looks great.

I bought Bridgestone turanza serenities at 120 k miles and now at 194 k miles, they have 7/32nds left. Costco I believe has a deal on Bridgestone tires, so might want to look there.

Luscious will charge an arm and a leg, but they are reputable. You the DIY type ?

Good luck and keep us posted .

 

415 is about right, you only have 8 gallons until the low bar starts blinking.

yes, 87 is all she needs. what a shine, gorgeous!

 

It's fine.

Sweet rims btw.

 

Collectors items I hear.

 

That grey car looks like the one I returned, but mine only had 38k miles on it

 

i see the resemblance
