Where are these old hybrids that are rotting away?

Got a friend of the family who’s got a Prius creeping up on 400,000 miles! Just regular maintenance. I’ll never make fun of you again! That’s a damn good car!

Not sure I would trust Kia or Hyundai hybrids but Toyotas are just about bulletproof. The original Prius engine was a collaboration between Toyota and Ford. Obviously Toyota has really refined their hybrids over the years but the hybrid used in the Maverick is solid. Ford being Ford there has been other issues that they had to work out.

 

[Commercial Inside Release]

There are hybrids that date back to 2005-2009.
Lots of hybrids between 2010-2015 sketchy.

Tons of fleet hybrids being traded in... There are hybrid Malibus that were only sold as fleet vehicles. Ford C-Max hybrids all over the place... Discontinued since 2017.

Ya think?

Maverick was reimagined in late 2021, and went into production in 2022, its first available date. Long periods since then, where it wasn't even available... Buyers sat on the waiting list for months to year.

Hope you expect more than 1.5 - 3 years out of a hybrid.
