    I picked up this pristine 2010 Prius off of craigslist over the weekend for $600.
    My main interest is the wheels, winter snow tires, tpms sensors and tpms computer.
    With 312,000 miles most of the parts are well used but It runs and I was able to drive it up the flat bed tow trucks incline.
    I wasn't given a definitive reason for this Prius retirement but the cracked windshield, evap OBD codes, abs sensor , and seized RR caliper would have made a NYS inspection very difficult.
    Plugging the vin into my Toyota shows the only dealer part installed was the brake booster/abs assembly @ 114,000 miles.
    If someone is in need of any parts please contact me via Prius chat or call/ text me at 716-864-2348.
    I can take additional pics or videos if needed
    I've had good luck shipping bulkier parts with Greyhound buses shipping service.

    This title misleads, not even showroom condition, and posted in the wrong forum.

    I'm really curious as to what "pristine" means to you.

    I’m sorry, i meant for the title/ description to be sarcastic.

    If a moderator can remove the “showroom condition “ from the title and it it’s place put the politically correct “ cosmetically challenged” I would greatly appreciate it.

    I should also note that it is not tropical in Buffalo NY , a more appropriate description would be "cold frozen tundra"

    Definitely looks rode hard and put away wet:eek:.

    The rear bumper is in particularly great condition :cool:.

    You mean that large water feature just to your north doesn’t allow for palm trees to grow:whistle:?

    The Maid of the Mist ride in December was definitely shorts and T-shirt weather (y).

    At $600, that's a steal! I partially supported myself through school, buying MG's cheap and parting them out. Not steady cash, but great markup in a niche market.

    So what's the status of the radio? Model? Condition?

    The 2010 came with a base single cd radio ,
    The radio is working , I will try a cd in it tomorrow and grab a picture.
    I also have a spare Bluetooth touch screen radio that I picked up when I upgraded my 2011 Prius to Bluetooth / rear view camera.

    I sold a few parts , kept the wheels, tires , TPMS computer and was offered $900 locally ($300 more than I paid) for the rest of the car so I let it go.
    I pretty much guaranteed the sale when I removed the traction battery and carried it down my basement stairs ….. of course I then had to include the traction battery in the sale which required me carrying it up the stairs again. (no need to go to the gym today)
