    The day has finally come to sell our 2009. I'll do a better listing later......I miscalculated, my price is $3800, and I can't see how to change the thread title.

    I bought it new in January 2009 in San Diego and it is still in SD, Ca.
    I moved to Texas 2 years ago and gave it to my daughter, but she never got her dl ( it is still in me and my wife's names). My wife is still in San Diego and has been driving it frequently to keep it in good running condition.

    It is grey and package 5 (with navigation, 6 disc cd JBL system and cloth seats) Mileage is approximately 136,000
    It is still running good. It still has the original hybrid battery. The catalytic converter was stolen last year, we replaced it with a new Toyota cat and 2 cat shields (1 shield and a thick cable welded to it)
    It easily passed the Ca DMV smog last time .

    I replaced the struts and got a set of 80k miles Michelin tires at about 110k or 115k miles

    The car has never been smoked in, hasn't been in any accidents, I've always changed the oil in 5k miles or less.
    I kept all maintenance receipts.
    The car doesn't have any dents, but the paint on the roof has faded and there are a few scratches here and there like any almost 16 year old cars.

    message me for questions that i didn't address. I'm trying to get my wife to take pictures and send them to me

    I have not seen it in 23 months, but my wife is much more of a clean freak than me...lol..(she had double floor mats , so the original mats are still there and probably in very good shape for 2009's)
    the driver seat cloth was getting a small tear in it when I last saw it, on the part where my left pants pocket would be.
    My wife is petite so that probably hasn't gotten much worse.
    Rear seat, passenger side, my daughter spilled something on the seat and never cleaned it (I was giving her the car , so I didn't sweat it)

    I'll try to have my wife text me pictures tomorrow.

    Other than the those 2 things, the interior hasn't had much abuse. I'd got one of the fancy leather steering wheel covers off priuschat and sowed it on.

    I'm still looking for some kind of private message button or feature here

    I had a similar problem recently, and another forum member helped me, so I'll try to do the same. To make any changes in your listing (title, or in body of message) click on the "REPORT" button, explain exactly what you want to change, and a moderator will change it for you.

    For Private Conversations, hover your cursor over your user name and several options will drop down. One of the options is "Conversations". From there, you can see all past private conversations, or start a new one.

    On a phone you turn it to landscape mode to see the “Conversation” button.

    Thank you,

    I had some inquiries and a long conversation with a solid member/buyer, so I probably won't try to get it edited

    Thanks for the inquiries!

    I have a pending priuschat buyer. so for now I'll call my listing pending. If it falls out, I'll relist it.

    I listed it at a good price, had an immediate buyer, he got pictures by text. If you didn't read my posts, I am 1500 miles from the car and I haven't seen it in 2 years myself. I posted that it was sold the day it was sold.

    Nice boat anchor in your post.

    Happy Thanksgiving!
