Less than six thousand a year? Sounds like it's spent most of the
time in the shop.

Oh, I see, that was you ahead of the black smokescreen on the I5! Jane Fonda
will be proud to know at least one of the damn things still lives. The
doomed VW diesel Rabbit was the Toyota Prius of it's day. I predect the same
fate for the Prius and its complicated hybrid whizbangery....oblivion!

The former owner got it from her Granny and painted it, used it for local
trips. I put 80K on it in 3 years. Replaced the normal stuff, waterpump,
T-belt and related seals, Cv Boots, Brakes, rear wheel brngs, alt,
windshield rubber (leaked water into electrical panel), but that's all
normal for it's age.
The little sucker is slow, but it's a perfect companion to my gas guzzling
Jeepster.

work on. That helps.
