I just read Hobbit's Optima battery installation instructions. Do you still have to do the workarounds he discusses to install, or do the new...
It's more like $57 higher.
You guys have probably already seen this battery source. You can order the OEM for $111 plus another $12 for shipping. That is not too bad. What...
The other point I wonder about is the 12V battery used in conventional cars. They weigh, say 40 to 50 pounds. You may replace them every 5 years...
That adds up to $11,895 out of pocket. Is that a lease?
What year, how many miles and how much was the total price, car,tax, tags and fees? About $10.5k? Did you get a good interest rate and warranty?
This is very informative thread and timely for me since I am probably going to get a 2005 Prius soon too. I never conceptually viewed the...

So I am getting close to taking possession of a 2005 Prius that has less than 17k miles. Being a shade tree mechanic I am starting to think about...
[/LIST] Jeff - Is there a precursor to MFD failure that one can look for before buying a used Prius? What is the failure and how did you fix...

Every few weekends lately I take my FIL's 05 Prius out for a spin just to keep it exercised. So far, over two weekends, I have driven on two 25...
Thanks for the info Seilerts on Taylor Auto. Sanford NC is not that far from me. I went to their website and while they mention working on Hybrids...
