Default Re: advice wanted by a keen tobe prius owner

First generation Prius (Japan 1997-2000) had an extra black bumper part that distinguished it from the second generation (2001-2003). If it happens to be the first gen, I wouldn't get it because they really aren't meant for US highways and Toyota won't do any warranty / recall work on them outside of Japan.

Second generation should be fine, but I don't know about the screen, you'd probably have to have some hardware swapped / replaced that contains the screen's software. You might be able to get that from a crashed car in a junkyard or ebay...

Third generation is the 2004-2006 models, so it's certainly not one of those if it's got a trunk.
