Pre Purchase Inspection

I see that yours does look flat on the top though Thanks! To be clear I do know the left side has the asymmetrical softex piece unlike the right of it.

 

Here is what mine looks like.

So much more expensive with glass roof. I was searching used too. : }

Mine is vin ending in 4283

 

I understand the asymmetry but the top of mine looks more lopsided. Of course Toyota website photos show a beautifully shaped digitally enhanced head rest. Maybe not digitally enhanced because I sat in a Crown yesterday and center back head rest was absolute perfection!

 

Ha!

 

I also just checked the website to see if digital camera was available on XLE but it’s not. I was wishing I had added that since the left and right head rests really block the view. Guess I have to learn some new techniques for entering and exiting Prius along with avoiding using rear view mirror.

It’s truly amazing there aren’t more cars competing with the Prius. It’s an SUV world. Wil Davis recommended reading about the dangers of SUVs. “High and Mighty”. The little I’ve read online so far keeps me away from them even if they were in my price range.

I still dream of a non existent Subaru Cross Trek hybrid with 50mpg or an updated Toyota matrix (hybrid). I’m definitely back to sleeping well now that I let go of the Cross hybrid idea.

 

Thanks but then the center head rest would really stick out like a sore thumb. : }

Did any of you notice the fragile fabric backing on the back of the rear seats. It’s all crumpled on the back of that lopsided headrest. : ) Just be careful you don’t tear it while putting anything rough in cargo area. My 2009 has a thick layer of really strong carpet or maybe felt material attached to the back. I guess we were spoiled with quality back then.

 

Ok last update….until 6pm.

The hyper pristine service manager who is super into the details took a look at headrest and agreed it was more noticeable in the rear view mirror. He supposedly / hopefully gently played around with the foam. He used a level and it past the test. I’m going over there at 6pm to check it out. Desperate for the sale of course.

They confirmed they aren’t going to let someone take it for a test drive until I’ve said yes or no tonight.

Now I need to let go of the crumpled fabric on the back that will catch on things. I only put seats down occasionally.

 

Good to hear music sounds great! We only listened to radio and it wasn’t crisp sounding like my old JBL. I think reading the manual and making some adjustments will help. I’ll get used to it.

Sorry I didn’t mean the car isn’t a quality car. Nothing is being made as it used to be.

 

I didn’t see a cargo liner in this one. Do you have an XLE? Maybe I should have ordered carpet mats instead of all weather and purchased all weather afterwards?

You are too funny! I’m older but I listen to Billie Eilish etc so that’s great news. Thanks!
