The Avalon? Its infotainment center has bugs in it and doesn't do everything it's supposed to. It has 125,000 miles.
  • The Prius has 215,000 miles.
  • It burns a quart every 500 miles or so IIRC.
  • It needs a 12V battery.
  • I've already replaced 3 modules in the HV battery, But so far it hasn't given me the red triangle again. Of course I haven't driven it hardly since either.
  • It needs a front wheel bearing, which I have everything to do it, though I'm not 100% sure which on it is as I lift the car and try to shake both wheels but can't notice any difference in them in movement, only it makes a loud sound as I drive that sounds exactly like a bad wheel bearing.
  • It needs a windshield too.
  • The check engine light comes on and the code is "catalyst failed". I don't remember the DTC number off hand. I do live in a place that does not do emissions checks, but anything other than a new California compliant catalytic converter is illegal to buy or install.
  • It also needs tires as these are about bald and it needs an alignment.
  • It's also past due for maintenance items like transaxle fluid change and brake fluid flush and radiator fluid flush and all the filters and such.

Other than that it's not too bad of a car.
