Did you hear of the legend that changed car when he had a flat tyre? 

Tyres can be quite expensive...might as well change the entire car is understandable...but hearsay it's no longer a valid reason as far as the legend is concerned...he changes car now when the car key battery goes flat...5 dollah also not worth it anymore...just change the rest of the package...😂

Mine simple 4 AT. My ignition coil so far ok after 1 piece replacment many years ago. These are cheap stuff anyway.

IMHO.
My last 4AT is from Aisin.  RAV4 also uses similar transmission.  No issue at 280k despite always drop "gear".   😆
That said,  I monitor the ATF closely and added DIY change because it uses dipstick. 
I think moving forward, I unlikely will extend COE because my mileage can be close to 300k. 
While the CVT has been proven by the PH's  Prius,  not sure on the maintenance duration.  Altis IIRC was 80k.

I will update here, see how long the AT is able to last

IMHO, you need to do homework.

Prius is not CVT. The principles are totally different. Just that Toyota conveniently calls it e-CVT.

All the hybrids should be e-cvt now. Not That I knew what the earlier gen used. 

Lot of mechanical ingenuity involved to get to these modern hybrid systems - 5th gen for Toyota, 3rd gen for Honda.

I apologise in advance if I'm out of topic, but I'm trying to figure out how to calculate the FULL cost of renewing COE.

From what I've read online, it seemed like I have to just pay the PQP amount? So let's say I want to renew a Cat B car with a PQP of 100k, I only have to pay this 100k? Are there additional cost to it? Cos it doesn't make sense that I can get a low Cat B car for the same price as a high Cat B car. Of cos, we are not calculating road tax, insurance etc. Just the car itself.

Thank you!

edit: I am also assuming the final price of the renewed COE car depends on supply and demand, right? so it's PQP + whatever people wanna sell at.
