    You've made the right decision. My 05 is close to 450,000 miles. Original engine, transmission. 2nd Hybrid battery ($1000) at 250,000 miles. And nothing else but regular maintenance.

    Just don't run outta gas. If you run out of ⛽ and cut it off and on more than 3 times, the engine will lock up and you won't be able to move it and will have to get it reprogrammed at the dealer for almost 200 dollars!
