** 2010 Toyota Prius V - Fully Loaded - Rare Advanced Technology Package ** on 2040-cars
Saint Augustine, Florida, United States
|
I'm the second owner and honestly just bought the car six months ago. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it - I basically just wanted a newer car for my commute and although I can afford it (well, not technically - thanks Dave Ramsey!), the luster has worn off and I'd rather save the car payment money. I currently drive 40k miles a year and that is about to double! The car is getting me the mileage that I expected - my 6 month / 16k mile average is a hand calculated 45.5mpg - and this is 90% interstate! Thanks to the warmer weather and the move away from winter fuel, my last 5 tanks have averaged over 47mpg. I wish I drove more city, b/c it performs even better!! My main issue is I am having second thoughts on driving a newer car like this into the ground w/ my commute. I also have an older VW TDI and it's long been paid off. I was going to sell it, but I'll "ruin" it instead and save the car payment money for repairs down the road. Like I said, there is nothing wrong with the Prius. It currently has 83k miles and may go up slightly. I honestly searched for several months to find it. There were five packages offered for this model year - I, II, III, IV and V. This is the top of the line V. So that means it has 17" wheels, proximity keyless entry (never take the key out of your pocket - doors unlock as you walk up and it has push button start), navigation, satellite radio, bluetooth, backup camera, heated leather seats, power lumbar in the seats, pop-up headlight washers and LED headlights (not HID.....LED!!). On top of ALLLL of that, it has the rare Advanced Technology Package. This is truly why I bought the car. With my commute on the interstate, it gets pretty boring. Boring can be unsafe. The ATP includes adaptive cruise control (it slows or speeds up with traffic), lane keep assist (it will beep if you drift and even steer the car to stay in your lane!) and also has automatic parking (parallel and backing in - my girlfriend loves this option). It literally has every option offered for the car (Toyota offered a solar powered roof, but only on IV models - not V - I have no idea why). As you can see in the pictures, the windows are tinted. It was factory maintained by the original owners and the only things I have done is change the oil with Mobil 1 full synthetic and add a K&N air filter (15-20k mile filter changes could add up, so I bought this solely for economics). The tires were new when I bought it, so I sold the factory wheels and had a set of black and polished 17" mesh wheels installed. In my opinion, it is one of the best looking Prius that I have ever seen. I have a clean CarFax from when I bought it. There are no title issues. My credit union holds the title, but I have bought and sold a lot of cars over the years and it is a painless process with them. I'm just looking to get what I owe on it, so $16.5 is where I am right now. We can draft a Bill of Sale and send your payment overnight to the credit union. They will then overnight the title to you....at least this is how it has worked in the past. It's been a few years since I have sold a car that I owed money on. I know Florida has an option for electronic titles, so it may be able to be released that way - I will call and check on that. |

Autoblog Podcast #318:
We dialed a random Swede, talked about not driving Volvos
Fri, Apr 8 2016The Swedish Number is now a thing. It's a cool thing. You dial, a random Swede picks up, and you chat. Or, in my case, you dial and a random Brit living in Sweden for the past six year picks up and you chat. Since I was calling on behalf of Autoblog, when I got Martin from the small coastal town of Sundsvall, on the phone, we talked about cars, Volvos (natch), and cold-weather testing. Oh, and about plugging in his regular Toyota Prius. ABG: I was able to come to Sweden and test Volvos a month or so ago. Do you drive a Volvo? Martin: [laughs] No. I think Volvo is a fantastic car. It truly is an amazing car, but no. My girlfriend has a company car, so we drive a hybrid Toyota Prius. ABG: And how does that work in the cold winters? It obviously cuts down on the environmental problems. Martin: No problem at all. Because we have these cold winters, like you do get in the States as well, where we park our cars, we've got electricity posts where we can plug in the cars. Motor car engines have a heater, so you can have the heater going for some time before you get into the car. So it warms up the engine and there's a socket inside the car to warm up the inside of the car as well. It's very efficient. You just need to remember to set the timer when you climb out of the car and connect the cable. It obviously cuts down on the environmental problems as well because your car is already warm before you start them. ABG: I know that makes them overall more efficient, I just didn't know it could work with any car. It used to be you would keep the diesel engine blocks warm, but this works for pretty much any car in Sweden? Martin: Yes. Our temperatures here can vary. We do tend to get roundabout -18 to -25C [0 to -15F], where I live, sometimes. Normally, in the winter, we always plug the car in to make it more environmentally friendly, for starters, and then it's a nice warm car when you get in. The coldest I remember it getting here was -36 [-33F]. In the north of Sweden they've had, on record, -56 [-69F]. ABG: That's too cold. Martin: That is cold, yeah. Most countries, now, use the north of Sweden to test their cars because of the ice. Volvo S90 Prototype View 15 Photos ABG: That's actually why I came over there, to test out the new XC90s and S90s. Martin: Is that your job, then? ABG: I don't test the cars for the companies, but I test them for Autoblog. They'll invite us to test the vehicles so we can see for ourselves what the vehicles do in cold weather.
