Can I swap an unused Prius for a new Hyundai?

The question
I'm thinking of buying a new diesel automatic, possibly the new Hyundai i30. Would any dealers take a 2008 Toyota Prius not used for a couple of years and another car, our 2009 FOrd Focus diesel automatic? What do you think?

Hi Tony,
How come the Prius wasn't used for a couple of years? That's the first question you'll be asked. If it's in good condition and still works fine, and you can show a current NCT, then there's no particular reason that a dealer wouldn't take it as a trade in, but you'll need to be honest and open about the history of the car.
