My 2002 Prius is in really nice shape and running well, until a warning light came on and it started bucking like a horse and it stopped running. The culprit is the big box on top of the engine. The dealer wants $3000 for the unit. Is there an alternative other than junking the car.
I would start looking for a used unit from a salvaged car. I believe that would be the inverter but I'm not sure about the 02.
i agree with steve, look on ebay or online for a salvage one. oh and might as well replace the inverter pump while your in there.
Here is one with 146k. $650 Here ya go a rebuild service for inverters on Ebay. $950 Another inverter 116k miles, $517 on sale hope this helps. and way better than paying 3 grand.
