Should I buy this car? (ICS Malfunction)

That wouldn't have affected the ICS alone - it would have just stopped.

As suggested, could have been the ICS sensors covered or dirty. There is enough petrol for more than that distance - I test drove mine the day after it turned up at the dealership, was in the holding yard, all they did was wash the windows before I test drove it. I remember the salesman commenting about the petrol - the needle had moved off "E" and the low fuel light didn't show.

 

As someone who has picked up many Toyotas from the port, Toyota puts at least 3 gallons in every car. They would risk destroying the fuel pumps otherwise.

Or maybe he used the Intelligent Park Assist It backs the car in perfectly centred (sometimes) between the two cars either side. So if they're parked badly, you will be too!

 

Should have a full tank!! Just before I say "yep, you've got the deal" - I ask "I assume it will have a full petrol tank?". Never been denied. The one time I forgot - it had enough to get me to the local petrol station.

Though - my suspicion is that they know how to save a few litres and still the gauge will show full. Top it off before you try serious MPG testing, first tank will be suspect.

 

Nice ride, the best colour too

 

Hi:
ICS Malfunction refers to the pre-collision system in the Prius. It may just need to be calibrated, but make sure they fix it. I got this message after a body shop removed my front bumper for repairs. If they fixed it, I would feel comfortable with the car. Good Luck.

 

I realize this is an old thread but I just saw it today for the first time and thought I would add a comment in case something simmilar happens to another person. If a person is not happy with the results of a test ride, They should not proceed with the purchase of that car. It is YOUR test ride after all.
