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.
So, how much can you expect to pay for a replacement hybrid battery? The best ballpark figure is between $2,000 and $3,000, although battery packs can be found much cheaper in junkyards that have wrecked hybrids, Berman said.The size of the hybrid can also affect a battery's price.Van Batenburg said a replacement battery for a Ford Escape hybrid SUV can cost upwards of $5,000, though it's unlikely that you'll need to replace the battery before you'll need to replace the vehicle itself.o make matters worse, replacing the earliest Prius battery would have cost a cool $5,500. Fortunately, the second generation Prius overcame the shortcomings of the previous version and produced a better battery system for about $2,000 less [source: Kwong ].
