    Last week, we had our local dealer put a brand new genuine Toyota battery in our 2005 for $2145. That price included all taxes and a loaner car. It also includes the three year Toyota nationwide warranty.

    Just a FYI, the original post you are answering was "Rewind To" originally posted in 2012.
    It's OK if it's topic matches your topic, but just be aware your walking with the walking dead here.
    You might get better response and clarity creating your own post, with your own recent experience.

    You're correct.
    I just think sometimes it's better to create a new post as opposed to resurrect a really old thread. Because the knowledge and opinions surrounding the topic may of evolved significantly in the past 8 years.

    Would have been cheaper to get the $3000 Toyota battery given the time and tow charges. Thanks for the post it is a good warning to others.
