    My 2006 2nd Gen Prius has 118,000 miles. Main Battery was replaced in 2014. I was just T-Boned (Aarrgghh!) and insurance wants to total. Needs Driver Door, Center Pillar, Rear Driver Side Door. Would hate to spend that much if I've only got 2 more years or so Main battery Life. Opinions??

    there really isn't one, but the more you use them, the longer they seem to ast. how many of those miles are on the second battery?
    to me, 120k is just a baby on these cars, even ifyou have to replace the battery.

    how much will it cost to get it in decent operating condition?

    before i made a decision, i would look around at the inflated prices of new and used vehicles.
