The best time to go to Magic Mountain is in October, the last week they are open during the weekdays (the week of Halloween) on that Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.
You can replace the hybrid battery pack for $600â$2000. It will be more expensive to do it at the Toyota dealer, and the model of the car also affects price. I have had 3 Priuses in my family, and only had to replace one battery pack (200,000+ miles). I ordered a replacement battery pack from a rebuilder and had it shipped to my mechanic, who had no problems changing things out. The total cost was $1200, back in 2011.
Save your money on the Prius plug-in. We think you should skip the Plug-in version, since it only delivers about 12 miles of all-electric drivingâeven on a good day. Plus, it adds about $5,000 to the price of a standard Prius; Toyota has dropped the price by about $2,000 since its introduction. Buyers are eligible for a $2,500 federal tax credit, while it lasts, to offset some of that cost.
