Hybrids always cost more in parts, the scam is known. The way i have mine affordable is do regular preventitive maintence and that always requires planning and money at milage at major mile stones, 50k trans oil, 80k struts, 100k plugs, trans oil, coolant, thermostat and water pump. I normally stockup early on my parts before reaching them 10k ahead and have stayed above water. I dont recommend hybrid to budget mined people because they tend to cheap out and the car ends up being junked.
❤ You put me to shame - I only have 432 K on my 2001 runner
I did a lot of driving from Manhattan New York to Virginia five days a week so it’s easy to rack up my miles.
What did you repair during the 480k cycle
Struts, shocks, front hub assemblies, brakes, one time in the front spark plugs tie rod ends.
I think you saved more than that in fuel?

❤Why not fix the water pump and keep driving
I will in the future, I have another video about the coolant pump coming soon.
