    N/A
    white with tan interior

    96,000 miles on it, full toyota warranty to 125,000 miles

    car has an airbagit suspension on all 4 corners
    each one lifts and lowers individually
    i also have the module on the kit that allows you to control the air system off your iPhone, not sure about adroid???
    has 2 dual needle gauges to show where each bag is air wise and 4 switches

    i built this car to work out of so i was looking for clearance and being able to haul more weight, not a lowering kit

    the air bag system is not at all hooked into the cars electrical
    i have 3 yellow top optima batteries in the spare tire space and a 60amp rv charger to charge them
    these batteries are used for charging my 18 volt milwaukee tool batteries and also run the compressor for the air suspension

    the car has had 2 issues the whole time i have owned it
    1 wheel bearing replaced, 1 coolant sensor replaced both under warranty

    it has brand new ecopia tires all around
    and brand new hid headlight bulbs

    loaded pretty heavy the car still gets 46.5-48 with 50%hwy and 50% city
    our hwys are 80mph here

    i almost hate to sell it because it has been so reliable and i worry my next prius wont be but my goal is to stay under warranty and i always planned to sell it around 100,000 miles and get a lower mileage one

    exterior is decent, interior is decent
    has tint all around
    weathertech floor mats front, rear and cargo since i got it at 15,000 miles
    wet okole seat covers in decent but not great shape front and rear

    everything works on the car fine

    think it is a package 2 and i added the glass sensor for the alarm
    has the backup camera

    i am not going to answer a bunch of questions about the air system for people that are not interested in buying the car
    if you are interested in the system you can contact airbagit
    they know the specs etc for setting one up, they installed this system and worked out all the kinks on it since there are very few if any 2004-2008 with air, at least none that i found

    i am pretty sure they have a video of it going up and down on you tube

    price is 13,500 obo
    but i am not going to come way down so dont waste your time
    if i cannot get what i want for it i will just keep it
    i owe about 8500.00 with wells fargo , my payments are 300 if someone is interested in some cash and taking over payments

    I would really appreciate a picture or two of the setup since I need to do the same. I use my Prius extensively for work too and a lot of the dirt roads have a very high centre. I also could not find any examples of how to do this or anyone here in South Africa that does this type of modification on the Prius. Please!

    I will try to get some pics together, but it is a pretty simple set up, the air bag struts just swap out and you run the air lines etc

    search you tube for airbagit prius, they have some videos of them putting it together

    Thank you cvincent, I had a look at the videos and saw it's a straight swap. No need for pictures thank you. I'll try to find a local airbagit distributor or agent.
