Is it a 2 or something else?

    Just bought a 2013 Prius 2 [sea grass pearl] yesterday.

    It is stated as a 2 but has the leather seats and leather interior coverings.

    Can you add accessories and still be a 2 trim or is it misquoted ?

    [Love that color!]

    Congrats on the new purchase!! I think that's a shrewd year to purchase -- sort of the sweet spot where depreciation/condition meets value.

    You can Google for "VIN decoder" or "VIN lookup." There are a million sites that provide this service. The FREE results will tell you trim level, no need to purchase the more granular reports.

    Circle back and let us know what you find out! Leather and trim 2 don't exactly add up so it will be interesting to see what you find out.

    Greeting Johnny Cakes and WilDavis, Young Winding went to the Toyota vin lookup..

    Pasted below is the Exterior

    Rr Spoiler, Blue Accent Car Badges Halogen Headlights w/Auto-Off Feature LED DRLs w/On/Off Feature Clr-Keyed Pwr Htd Folding Outside Mrrs Front Variable & Rear Intermittent ....

    Interior:
    Push Button Start, Touch Tracer Display Multi-information Display w/Trip Info Display Audio:6.1" Touch-Screen, 6 Spkrs Fabric-Trimmed 6-way Adj Driver's Seat & Tilt/Telescopic Steering Whl w/Controls Cruise Control, Instant MPG Indicator Cntr Console w/Armrest/Storage, 2 Fr Cup Dual Compartment Glove Box 60/40 Split Fold-Down Rear Bench Seat w/ Auto Climate Control System Power Locks & Auto Up/Down Power Windows Cargo Tonneau Cover & (2) Fr Pwr Outlets

    Fabric- trimmed stands out...obviously this is not REAL leather... but it's not the cloth interiors I see.. so....? The seats are the same ~material~


    Safety +Convenience:
    Star Safety System: VSC, TRAC, ABS, Dr & Fr Pass Advanced Airbag System Dr & Fr Pass Seat Mounted Side Airbags Side Curtain Airbags & Dr Knee Airbag Dr & Fr Passenger Active Headrests LATCH(Lwr Anchor & Tethers for CHildren) Driver Smrt Key Sys, Rmte Keyless Entry Eng Immobilizer, Tire Press Monitor Sys

    Under 'Body style' it says: Two Model, so it must be a 2...

    Now just to be certain you either have 'cloth interior' or im guessing ~Fabric~ meaning the fake leather... Im certain they dont use real leather... so I need to check to see if the word 'Fabric~ is in reference to the fake leather and if they use "Cloth~ for the standard option?

    Johnny Cakes.... It looked to me like a new car.... But the spec's ...Just a tad under 100,000 - fresh tires. clean as a whistle- $9300

    2013... I was looking for a 2009 or 2011 for under $10,000 This one's sheet : 1 owner/ no accident,s ..

    When I filled in all the options .I got plenty 2009's a couple 2011 and this 2013 showed up...

    Trying all the other sites I could find... 2013 / under 100,000 miles / ... under $10,000 ... I could find ZERO... But strangely enough 1 2014 appeared ..I believe Texas...
    So I figured it wasnt going to get much lower then this... Now if I can figure out if Fabric means the Fake leather....if so...

    Some how it got added to a Prius'2' under some kind of condition..Not sure..

    After 2011 I believe they no longer offered leather but offered Softex in the level 4 and higher. The heated seats and automatic climate control are also indicative of a level 4 or higher. Excellent that you ran a Carfax. Do let us know what you found.

    Some people put leather on aftermarket. Does the smart key system work on only the driver's door, or both front doors and the trunk? Meaning, with the key in your pocket, can you just unlock it by grabbing the handle?

    I have a 2012 Prius two silver with light gray soft leather. It is my understanding that they don't come with leather in the Prius two. The previous owner that bought the car new had custom leather put through out. I found this out when took to body shop to get Rosie's after someone broke into my Prius and stole my work iphone

    And when I figure it out I will report CNYhybrid

    Right now the Prius is not available to me.
