    The EGR circuit isn't restriction free until you've thoroughly cleaned the 'EGR cooler' as well.

    Well, the used market is on fire these days. 2 of these 3 options sold very quickly.

    But...I’m almost the owner of a 2012 Classic Silver Prius! Its service record was the BEST I’ve ever seen. Not that that means it’ll be trouble free. But it’s had the 12v and all 4 spark plugs replaced in the past year and a half, oil changes every 5k miles.

    Needs new tires and has lots of basic cosmetic damage, but I talked them down to $8,000 (from $9,000).

    Hope I made a good decision!

    I’m actually taking a loaner or my car for the weekend. I snagged this car before it had even gone through the full process, so it needs (badly haha) to be detailed.

    But pics will be posted soon!
