2009 Toyota Prius with 45 mpg and live-in conversion

[Talos Woten]

Own a piece of American automotive history!

I am selling Champrius, the Champion Camping Prius. She's a 2009 Toyota Prius with 325k miles on her, modified for fuel efficiency and converted for road life.

THE GOOD
* 45 real world mpg, meticulously maintained with records available
* Clean title in hand, two owners personal use
* Move-in ready, with bed, fridge, pantry, solar panel, and coach power
* Soundproofed + upgraded sound system; insulated + great AC / heat
* She's a fantastic conversation starter. You'll be a superstar everywhere

THE BAD
* She burns oil the higher the RPMs. Driven sedately = 1 Qt per 1-2k miles
* Two minor accidents and several failures, most repaired
* Every warning light is on, some for real conditions, others spurious
* She's been gutted and cosmetically looks ragged. Function >> appearance
* People will leech onto you while driving, taking pictures and video

Whether you want to live in her or just go glamping, she's a comfortable economical vehicle... for one person. Two people will have to get intimate.

I'm asking $9,000 OBO. I'll further deliver anywhere in the continental US, at $1 / mile from Aliquippa PA. Contact me at kimlumbard@hotmail.com.

Attached are some pics. The exterior and interior pics show things in the state you'll get it, i.e. mostly empty. The Door and POV pics show what it's like fully stocked with all my junk. That's *not* part of the sale; it's merely to show how much stuff fits inside. I'll include bonus stuff I won't need for my new vehicle, like sun shades, ODB II scanner, towels, sheets, etc. Feel free to keep or toss as you like.
