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.
I have heard different prices for the main hybrid battery â from several thousand new, to potentially $1500, according to one person, who found a low-mileage battery in a junkyard. The 12V battery, including labor, cost me roughly $280 to replace; my Prius is a 2011 3rd Gen, and from what Iâve researched, this is about the time that the 12v can be expected to die.
