Of course you can.  If you own a Toyota Prius, you're free to say in
your ad, "Toyota Prius for Sale", even in the unlikely event the car
itself didn't say that. That is nominative use of the trademark "Toyota
Prius"

Again, you probably couldn't use the graphical logo, but there's nothing
stopping you from using the trademarked phrase "Toyota Prius"
nominatively ("You can borrow my rented Toyota Prius").
