    Dear all


    I just picked up a used Prius T3 2008 from a Toyota dealer. On all the used T3 adverts it clearly says the standard equipment include a space saver spare wheel. However the dealer is now telling us there isn't one because the old T3 does't come with one anyway, only the new T3 does. In that case why is this adversied as standard equipment on Toyota website? Is what he is saying true or is he just fobbing us off? Any information gratefully received. Many thanks.

    can't speak for the UK but we have always had them here up until the recent plug in which loses the space to more battery and on board charger. do you have the empty space for the spare under the rear deck floor?
