    Hello all. I just picked up a 2010 Prius. It's metallic black with gray upholstery. CPO car with 54k miles on it. My neighbor owns the dealership, and I picked it up for $15,500...seemed like a good deal?

    I've been reading, and I realized I don't know what version I have (didn't know different versions existed)...it's there anyone to tell? I'm guessing it's II or III. It has cloth, no power seats, no sunroof, no Bluetooth. It does have the key that unlocks/locks when you touch the handle. Any guess what version it is?

    I'm going to have the stereo pulled out and replaced with a touchscreen with backup camera. Any good advice on things I should know or do to the car? Any maintenance to check on (has supposedly had all recommended maintenance done at the dealer).

    I love this thing over the Civic Hybrid I had...so much more room inside!

    Thanks in advance!

    Congrats--enjoy.

    Attached below is a 2010 brochure, which lists the features of the different models, and should help you determine which one you have.

    Thanks, based on that I think it's a II.

    Your neighbor owns the dealership and the salesman didn't tell you what trim you bought?

    I didn't realize there were different trim packages...didn't really care either. I just figured they had "options". I find out about the trims on here, so I was curious which mine was...that's all.

    If I couldn't find it on here I was going to ask him.

    Welcome to the Prius Family, and the PriusChat family! Smart choices both.

    I also think you got a pretty good price. Was that out the door?
