    What parts should I pull off of my friends recently wrecked gen 2 prius with 62k miles besides the combination meter and multi function display before he scraps it?

    Some ideas....
    If it's leather interior, grab the center console lid.
    Take the garnish trim off the rear hatch (the part that has the button for opening).
    Rear view camera.
    Look at the condition of the antenna, as most typically crack apart near the base where it attaches.
    Sunvisors
    HV battery and fan
    Inverter
    Maybe even the inverter cooling pump if you'd like to have an inexpensive backup for that weekend failure when no stores are open to buy one for $150
    The console AC vents, especially the one with the shifter hole.
    Driver seat if yours have butt prints or significant wear and the interiors are the same
    Even the seatbelts if yours are looking a bit ragged. 62k mile seatbelts are probably like new.
    Headlights
    taillights
    12v battery if recent
    Brake accumulator

    Just some ideas to get you started...............

    Steering wrack, front bearings, struts- shocks
    Cabin filter, transaxle fluid, grease the brake caliper pins

    Change out the interior bulbs with led’s

    Search, someone last week replaced the headlights and ballasts and is very happy, the originals kept me from driving at night.
