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.
The battery pack in the Toyota Prius is guaranteed for 100,000 miles. Honda and Ford stand behind theirs for 80,000 miles. It's safe to say that replacement is a rare event. If you're faced with replacing the battery on an out-of-warranty car, there's no need to panic. The cost of a new battery pack continues to decline and now stands at about $3,000, not bad when you consider how long they last. A used pack salvaged from a wrecked vehicle will set you back around $1,000. Battery replacement should be left to professionals.
