    Made a decision to get back into the Prius world. Been gone for quite a while- but know these cars have owned a couple and really missed it.

    I think I scored a decent 2008 Beige on Beige- tinted- needs small cosmetic work - and through stage 1.
    but decent bones and some service history.
    Originally an Arizona car-
    Juggled decision between Gen3 , but all the ones in my area of Midwest are 250-300k and just don't trust the egr /head gasket issues.
    While it has high miles 356K....I look forward to enjoying it for a while.

    I want to removed the updated Android head unit and likely go back to stock.....steering wheel functions are retained, but don't really need anything as my phone will do maps and hate non-integrated BRIGHT screens. A 12v blue tooth adapter will work if I can switch back - anyone have a OE gen 2 h/u they want to get rid of?

    It will likely stay on stock wheels for a while as tires are b r a n d new.- but def will update sway bars , at least the rear to assist in understeer.

    Glad to be back!

    -Eric
