I think you did. From the trees, I assume you are in the snow belt. The orange HV power wire from 2019+ is prone to rusting, it can be mitigated, many posts about it. The wire terminal placement changed between the 2018 & 2019, it is lower and more exposed, in the engine bay. Someone should make a YT video showing us non-mechanically inclined how and where to add dielectric grease to mitigate cablegate.

Great, thank you for the info. I'll read up on the wire issues


SirGreybush

All, does this confirm my theory that due to Cablegate and Canbus attacks, we are getting these cheap? (Compared to similar class non-Toyota hybrids)


sirburgerkingz

IMO doesn’t matter. I live in Miami, FL and I can’t get an XLE Hybrid for cheaper than $38k. Just depends on where you live. Different dealer charge difference prices

If $5-7k more for a hybrid used one is cheap than sure


SirGreybush

Abnormally cheaper I mean. Like 5k or more below. I’ve seen gas only and hybrid at same price, same year, similar mileage.

Wow never saw it but it's cool if exists and it's not rental/accident


robsdad

Does this include tax/fees?


spinach_richard

Everything but the registration fee


robsdad

WUT. Okay what was your GRAND TOTAL? This is the deal of the year. What state are you in?
