    Hi All, I'm new to this Forum and purchased a used 2008 Prius a few weeks back. How do I tell if the one I purchased is "Base" "Touring" or what? Also package and etc.? Thanks

    The more features on the car the higher the package number. Example: A base model touring has no navigation system or leather seats. Sorry, not much help to offer their. I purchased my new and have the window sticker that was on the car. The dealership might know.

    Congratulations on your purchase. I love my 2007 Prius, Gen II. Pkg 5 with Nav System and Leather.

    Congrats on your Prius and welcome to PriusChat. I hope your Prius color goes well with that Alabama red clay! I don't know how to tell what packages, if any, you have, but someone here on the forum will.

    Happy Motoring,

    Tom

    Congrats and :welcome: to PriusChat!

    Cwerdna has a useful link in his post. You can use that to find out which package you have (the big things to look for are: foglights, JBL audio, navigation and leather. Those four should help you narrow down which package you have pretty quickly)
