Salam Alaiku

Just wanted to ask a quick question, I have found a UK Import 2010 Prius G Touring without sunroof. Asking price is 22.50 but more negotiations are possible. So is it a good buy? Does anyone know who can help me verify the vehicle engine, suspension, etc in Lahore. The exterior and interior is good but I am uncertain on how to verify that this vehicle is good engine, suspesion wise. I have two options. One is Japanese and one is this UK import. If anyome know anyone who can help me verify this vehicle that would help alot. The shop is Autocity in Johar Town.

S, S-Touring, G, G-Touring etc are Japanese variants. UK ones are T-Spirit etc.

Salam every one ....
I need experts opinion.
Like all other jdms it has low ground clearance and I need to resolve this issue aswell .
Two solutions available
-> spacers
-> increase rim size .
What do you guys suggest .
And also recommend the tyres size and type plus price .
I am considering to install spacers and just replacing tyres only with the pic tyre

If its a 15" rim, tires change. If it's the 16" rim, then spacer is your only option(along with stock rims)

If you need good ground clearance go for spacers. If you're looking for VERY good clearance change it's rear springs..
messing with the tyre size would bring negative affects later on in its life, especially to the suspension

Always buy Japanese versions with auction sheets, and a good auction grade. UK cars have no guarantee of quality. And according to my very limited knowledge and search, I've discovered that the uk ones are much more prone to error.

Thanks .
Its with stock tyres and 15 inch steel rims .
And suggest some tyres options do I have . My main concern is ride comfort and economy . I can overlook grip and looks as I don't fly it :-p .
I am considering Michelin energy saver in the attached image . It is around 9700 per tyre . One of my friend is using these in his prius and he is very satisfied with them.

What I have learned reading this thread and many other threads is that some have quoted that UK Prius engines are not built for hot weathers like in Pakistan because they have built it according to the weather conditions in UK which are cold and seeing that in Pakistan in Winters the average drops little bit so in UK they mostly have cold weather so they built an engine which can withstand cold and give a mileage that a Prius should give no matter winter or summer, they have smaller radiators or something. You do get the function of English display though.

b. S-Package (With Fog lights and TV/DVD/Navigation) - not always

c. G-Package (Same as S But with Leather stitched steering and Cruise Control) - not always

thats really helpfull.

btw i find many options of 2010 model in 20 or even low.

but personally i like 2011 shape.sum pplz demand it 20 n sum 21,22.all claim its 4 grade n totally neat condition.but ma b its due to internal condition of car (body,battery,engine)
we can check bosy condition,milage etc but how we check battery condition of prius?

n 1 more thing,can we change its language from jap to english (car errors n further details,not just navigation)

There are certain procedures that check the battery condition.
1) once the car is warmed up, press the accelerator slightly and let the engine start and turn off. Do this a few times and check if there is any unnecessary vibration.
2) change the gears consecutively for about 45 seconds, if the battery has an issue, it will give an error after a few changes. By gear change I mean, D N R D B R N etc

[aamirahsan89]

You can change the language but then when the start up battery is disconnected or dies, the software goes back to japanese

Auction sheet is valid for two months only, makes no sense for us but people in the market now have a trend "auction sheet honi chahiye". But then again this is the same market that buys 1.3 corolla over a 1.6 because it sells. So if you prefer resale, get one with an auction sheet, otherwise it's useless to you unless it's a fresh import vehicle

Can u kindly guide me on how to change the language? The starter battery only needs to be disconnected when it is being replaced. And there are workarounds for that too.

There are CDs available with car audio shops. But if you are a bit of a technical fellow and can deal with simple jobs, there is a thread on pakwheels where a torrent link is provided for different models of Toyota audio systems. Those softwares can be written to disk and installed by themselves.
The shops charge 500 for the software

[usman_mk]

so in end,wts ur opinion guys if i go with 3,4 years used prius compare to brand new 1.5 City?
