    Actually I couldn't tell by the ad exactly what features it had so i drove there to take a look

    But also like i asked in the above post no one really answered yet
    Do i have to buy with a full size display to get a backup Camera ?
    Since the nav and the sound system isn't that great
    Does it makes sense save some money buy a cheaper model Prius with just a radio and then upgrade the system ?

    whats my options please anyone ?

    What you are asking is very subjective, some will say the navigation is great (like my wife) and some will say it stinks (like myself). I find it slow and restrictive, she finds it easy to use and looks cool. Everyone is different and you have to really try these "important" features for yourself. Don't go by what others say, just take note of what's mentioned and see it in use for yourself. You don't need other's opinions here, what really matters is your own opinion because this will be YOUR CAR.

    I always feel it's good to buy a car with all the features you actually "use". Don't add it on later because with anything that is not factory engineered, it could be done wrong and mess up other parts of your car. A Prius 5 w/advance costs $7000 more when new, but in the used car market, the price is only a little more. Options in a car doesn't hold much value so buying a used car with many options makes sense. You probably can find leather/navigation packages in the used market for about $1000 more than comparable cars without them.

    If a car has backup camera and doesn't have a full display, I believe the display picture will come up in the rearview mirror.

    Forget the Salvage. They're cheaper for a reason!
