12. Be careful with the reconditioned Prius batteries

My husband had a 2006 Prius we bought used. He used it for 5-6 years then up graded to a 2014 Prius V and I used the old one.

The battery pack went out and Toyota wanted nearly $4000 to replace it - more than the car was worth. We found a deal for a re-conditioned battery with a three year warranty. Drove fine for a year, then the battery pack went bad, got it replaced, labor only (still $350). Drove another year, battery pack went bad, same deal.

Then nine months later, the battery pack went bad and took the car's computer with it. $5000 to fix. The mechanic offered $500 for the car and we took it. He could get the parts at cost and of course do the labor.

Now, even though Toyota is expensive, we get all our work on the remaining Prius there.
