I bought my Prius in the summer of 2020. I bounced around to mountain towns, while I worked from home. Then I had to take care of some family member when they got sick. I recently relocated to D.C. and I was wondering anyone else there? I’m in the city proper and thinking about selling my car because I just don’t think I will use it compared to the last couple of years. Also, living in the city makes it a huge pain to work on. Thoughts? It currently has 160k on it and is still running well. I just replaced the 12v. Slightly worried about maybe rust from it coming from Vermont, and I can see surface rust on some spots. I’m also worried about it dying in general, I’m the third owner and I have the impression the previous owners weren’t on top of maintenance. Like they didn’t abuse the car but were just wasn’t detail oriented.
lots of owners in the dc area. if you can live without it in the city, you'd be smart to sell it now, as prices are at an all time high.
It's a sitting duck in DC.....just go ahead and cut the cat out yourself and put in on the ground next to the car. At least that way there shouldn't be any other damage done to the underside of the car.
Sell the cat....while you still can. Keep the Prius for a while until we return to adult leadership and gas prices moderate.
