    Hello Prius family,

    I'm curious if anyone has experience with selling or trading in their Prius after replacing the main battery.

    I'm shopping for a replacement battery after receiving the dreaded P0A80, and want to make sure to factor in any effect on resale value between new batteries vs. a remanufactured or refurbished solution. Does a remanufactured battery reduce trade in value? Conversely, did anyone get a premium for having already taken the hit on the battery?

    Any insight you could provide would be greatly appreciated, and hopefully help us all make a more informed decision when the P0A80 finally arrives...

    Thanks in advance
