2007 Prius with Turbocharger, 28,500 miles, Huntington Beach, CA

2007 Prius with less than 28,500 miles. Here is the Car's story:
In 2007, Quantum Technologies of Irvine took some 2007 Prius Gasoline-Electric Hybrids and turned them into Hydrogen-Electric Hybrids. They sold most of them in Europe. At the end of the program they had a few left that they sold here in California. One of them was converted back to a Gasoline-Electric Hybrid. That is the car I am selling. It still has a Turbocharger on it (required for the H2-E version). I just got the car back from the shop where they tuned in the turbo. This is the zippiest Prius you will find. And it has less than 28,500 miles on it. Be the first person on your block to have a Turbocharged Prius! Priced below Kelley Blue Book. Note: Front Bumper Damage

 

Here is one. I will try to add some more.

Here is a photo of the same turbocharger that is in the car I am selling. I found this photo on the web.

I have removed the crossover pipe (bellows tubing with blue B-nut). That was something required for the H2 setup.

 

It is not electric. You may have thought the black cylindrical thing on the right is a motor. It is the intake connection. Are you really an engineering professor? Electrical? I had to say that. As a Mechanical Engineer, I have spent my career poking fun at Electricals whenever I get the chance. Have a Great Day!

So who wants to buy it???

 

Doh!!!
I copied the text from my Craigslist ad and did not include the price. Price is $11,800. That is below the Kelley Blue Book "Good" price for a 2007 with 28,500 miles and a backup camera. I went with "Good" due to the damaged front bumper.
I do not have records to prove the odometer was not messed with. But it would make sense that it would have low mileage because it have not been used after it's H2 conversion when it was waiting to be sold.

 

I do not know how much additional horsepower the turbo adds.

 

I don't know where it was purchased. Quantum Technologies would have purchased a lot of them at once for the H2 Conversion program. They probably bought them in a state where the sales tax is less than California's 8%.
