    It looks great, she sent me the new battery receipt and the price is in line with KBB ($5,800). Any red flags?

    I can't post links, but search Chicago craigslist for 2005 prius hybrid extra clean.

    Is the receipt for a NEW battery installed by Toyota?

    That would be worth more than some random USED battery. And when was that battery instaled?

    Bet it’s not a real factory battery but a whacker. No one spends big bucks for a factory battery and then sells the car.

    See you soon lol.....

    Thanks all. I passed on the 2005. Keep in mind prices are higher since I'm in a large city. Thoughts on this?

    Thanks. How did you know it was a Toyota battery?

    It's hard to know what you are looking at.

    But now I am thinking I want a slightly newer one, with a rear camera and aux audio/Bluetooth...

    Too old and thousands too high. I'd sell you my 2012 Plug In for less than that

    Thanks MilkyWay. My comments are still moderated here. I think I'm going to go look at that one and take it to a Toyota dealer.
