[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does it make sense to buy a used Sienna now that they're all hybrid since 2021? We have one we got used now, generally don't mind paying for repairs, and keep vehicles for 200k+ miles and 10+ model years.

I'm wondering if the math for buying used say around 100k miles makes sense when [b]there's a hybrid battery that could die and might prevent reaching 200k[/b].[/quote]
If it dies you can get it replaced. I just replaced hybrid battery on Avalon with 140K miles. Toyota hybrids don’t have a separate transmission, so while you may have to replace hybrid battery you won’t ever have to replace transmission. [/quote]

Thanks. This is the kind of thing I'm looking for. Like is the hybrid battery the only big expensive thing that might die or is it almost inevitable? For instance, the Odyssey had a known timing belt/ water pump expensive replacement, but then also could have transmission issues, while the Sienna had a timing chain so a used Sienna seemed better than a used Odyssey. Did this math change due to the switch to all hybrid? Seems like you don't think so.[/quote]

I’m on my third Odyssey. Love them. The timing belt/water pump is about $1800 and isn’t done until 80-100k miles. I just bought a 2025 Odyssey, top trim, and it was almost $10k cheaper than a top trim Sienna. $10k invested buys me a lot of gas and timing belts. [/quote]
