    I have a 2012 Prius V that I have driven mostly highway miles for 135K. Is it time to let it go?

    If it burns oil, yes. If it needs a head gasket, probably. If it needs a brake booster, your call. All depends on your finances, a new or recent car will be more reliable and have less $2,500 to $7,500 repairs in its future. Plus better crash test ratings and far better safety systems.

    Lol... These cars are good for more than 300K freeway miles. You aren't even half way there yet.

    if it is running well with no issues, sell it while you can before a big dollar breakdown presents itself.
    it will bring good money if it has no issues
