Prius - some info required

BionicRasher

So almost pulled the trigger on this - http://greatisland2013.webzone.ie/used-cars/Toyota/Prius/HYBRID-LUXURY/200714485319155220/

The deal is almost done bar a few niggles that I have. So first off can anyone tell me the actual model of this car as I cant find the exact detail anywhere. Can we tell if its a Two, Three, Four, Five?

Secondly - its missing a parcel shelf and spare key so if the dealer cannot supply then how much should I try to haggle off the price?
i.e. how much is a parcel shelf and how much for spare key?

Thanks

I would say €150-€200 for a new key from a main dealer, expect about a week to get it. Parcel shelf should be able to be ordered from main dealer too, pricing I am unsure of but here's one on Ebay for about €250ish.

It's a Gen III . Great car, nice bit more power over the MK II, great cars that give no trouble even beyond 500,000 Kms !

Check for full service history and do a full car check.

It's downright criminal you can't get tax back on petrol for commercial use, the prius would make perfect taxis instead of far higher polluting diesels and very old high mileage diesel taxis.

Thanks. I know its a MK III but wanted to know how to tell what model or spec level it is. Is there a spec version available on the car anywhere?

Has almost FSH but no stamped book. Typically lazy Irish garages!

Ah ok, it's the Luxury trim, says that in the ad.

If it had a toyota history this should be logged in the garage, I'm sure they can print it out for you.

Thanks. However I can't seem to find any specific details for a 'Luxury' model.
All I can see is T3 T-Spirit T4 etc

Spoke to the main dealer and they serviced her 3 times in last 2 years and will stamp the book for me.

This is the closest I can find, probably for last years model, most likely some differences between 2012 and 2015.

Great stuff thanks so much

I really liked the MK II, love the Leaf a lot more.

Indeed. Just selling out 10 year old Prius, switching to a Leaf. Great car.

The T3 etc. are UK specs. The only options here were the standard Prius and a "luxury" pack, up until 2013 I think. The luxury pack added leather steering wheel, 17" wheels, cruise control, and one or two other bits.
