Thanks!

Hmmm, with only 450,000 miles, I'd expect much less wear and tear.

Just kidding! Looks brand new. Remarkable.

How about a progressive video montage?

This is through the first 400K. He reached that mark about a year and a half ago, then quit his driving job.

We've been dealing with doubters for years, and it's been proven time and time again in many threads and even official news articles.

Good stuff!! Thanks for the update.

You know, you are probably going to break some record if you keep this car another 10 - 20 years. Easily go over a million....shoot for two or three million.

The money you've saved in gas over a normal 25mpg car has probably paid for the car...
You've given me motivation to try for extra high mileage on my 08 sedan,
Usually i get rid of cars at the 200,000kms mark, this one will be going much further..

One of the reasons I bought the Yaris was because of its excellent MPG. I was using a 00 Mazda Protegé 1.6L Auto. The money I was saving by using the Yaris was enough to pay my monthly installments and insurance. I was saving about $900 a month by using the Yaris as opposed to the using Protegé.

Kal-El · 11-15-2011, 09:16 AM

And the fact that the Yaris sedan, in most dimensions, is larger than the Protoge' makes it all the more impressive.

Fantastic man! Your story has inspired me into getting a yaris as I put on a lot of km's every year with my work commute (not nearly as much as you but more than average) and I want something thats good on gas and very reliable.

I would just like to know if you did any fluid flushes as part of your regular maintenance, like transmission, coolant, brake..???

Any adjustments or inspections to the timing chain?

thanks!

450,000 miles @25 mpg = 18,000 gallons @ $3 gallon = $54,000

450,000 miles @40 mpg = 11,250 gallons @ $3 gallon = $33,750

a savings of nearly $20,000

This is why you want to do the math before buying a Prius!
