    Sold my ever faithful 06 with Pkg 6 today..looking around and ran across a 2012 Pkg 3 with a "sport package" with under 30K on the odo.
    From what I could find its a south region special offering that costs 4999? Anyone have one of these? How does the bigger wheels affect the mileage?
    Thoughts on a decent price?

    My 06 was incredibly reliable..going to miss her...

    OOPS..Gen II!!

    OOPS!! Yup Gen 2!! tired!!

    I was referring to the Sport package add-on price...$4999

    I am asking what a fair price for a 2012 Pkg 3 would be with, or without, that package. It doesn't show up on any KBB or NADA adds due to it being a regional add...

    Unless it's the Prius Plus package, stay away from any gulf region "specials". They're worthless.

    Its 19500...according to KBB anyway (I know), that's like trade in value...for a plain jane III...are you saying that the actual parts are bad?

    Sport must be the Plus package.

    Lots of threads on plus size wheels and it's affects on MPG. MPG hit should be between 2-5? I don't mind.

    Not necessarily. The gulf states/south region is notorious for pushing their own TSS (I think it stands for Toyota Sport Series) packages and they're worthless IMO because it's not an official/recognized Toyota package like the Plus package.

    he added a photo and it's confirmed.. it's a Plus or partial Plus.

    Photo is gone? If it's a partial Plus, likely has other TSS stuff added making it not a true PPP.

    Thanks. Looks like the Prius Plus Appearance Package rather than the Performance Package as it's not lowered. Yes, it's at least an official Toyota package rather than TSS so the OP is good to go. I don't like how they've added the stupid SPORT badging though.

    depending on price IMHO.. not all that without springs to make it's "appearance" better.

    True, the full PPP (Performance Package) should be $3,699 MSRP for the lower trims so either they're overcharging $4,999 for the lesser Appearance Package (should be only $2,999 MSRP) or they've added other stuff like the side body moldings, etc.
