Totally worth it. Even if you have to replace a few batteries, it’s still remarkably cheap.

Worst case, an 11mm socket wrench and $900 at a local junk yard and you have a car worth $4200 for a flip. Best case it’s a matter of resetting everythingn and you’re good to go.

And yes, the Prius is a pain in the ass if you let the 12V run dead because of the way the alternator doesn’t run if the engine isn’t running it won’t charge so it can’t restart the motor. There’s more to it, but that’s the gist.

Not the easiest fix, but nothing you can’t do in a weekend.

Car is a cheap car. You heard it first here, folks.

Wait. The hybrid battery is good but the regular is bad. I don’t see why someone doesn’t pick this up.

Can we discuss why he felt it was prudent to mention his GF is knocked up and his WIFE knows?

Some things, buddy, just keep to yourself...

Also I'd totally buy that car if I was in Indy. Probably an easy fix, if not at least a relatively cheap and solder-filled one.

I just think the personal story behind it makes it a bit amusing

Hey. Honesty is a virtue. Cheating on your wife....maybe not.

Don’t tell random people that stuff, some people have zero filter and/or common sense.
