    Don't know but did you actually receive a touring vs. one being misrepresented as such?

    None of that is touring specific. Mine's an 06 which is before touring's even existed and I have all that.

    A telltale sign of a misrepresented as touring car is non-touring tire sizes. See http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-ii-...ook-when-shopping-used-prius.html#post1420402. The wheels on the touring also look different than that of the non-touring.

    I think that price is not out of line touring or not from the information given.:welcome:

    I paid $14k for my 08 base model just a month ago. My Prius had 72k miles on it though. I know it's a Base model because it has 15" tires and it's void of really cool frills.
