We took a look at it and put down a deposit today. We might tow it home tomorrow if we can find a tow bar. I think your idea of permanent tow bar mounts is a good one. We can always rescue it with the van and avoid towing charges. Luckily it's just below the max tow capacity of the Previa.

I couldn't get it running but possibly because the lead acid was dead. The screen had a grey PS icon, grey battery icon and a red car icon on it. I hope the main battery revives. It was sitting for about a month. He said the only code it threw was the P3120. It was driven to the dealer for a diagnosis but when they were done with it, it wouldn't start again. He was pretty peeved at the dealer. I hope it will start if I clear the codes so I can charge the traction batt.

Thanks for your help so far. I'm sure I'll be bugging you again soon. I'll start a revival thread for it somewhere here or at Prius Chat.

Thread hijack complete, sir.
