New Reconditioned Battery or ECU and wireharness replacement

If you're trading it in it CarMax or the Toyota dealer so on all they know is you got there in it and then does it look that bad is it rusted out Flintstones action? You'd be surprised I mean unless you're in dire straits and have to do something in 1 minute You shocked it with some people would do to get you into a payment a new car whatever you want to call it. So I mean how fast are we going to do this something the new car the other car whatever directly well that's one of those things where you have to clear the code to drive it do it drive it over there leave it ready when you get out to talk to the people and make your deal or whatever some places to give you $4,000 without even seeing it of course they're probably killing you with the price of the car but.

 

If you have no desire to repair it, there are likely many people, knowledgeable prius people, willing to buy that car and fix the battery themselves. Price would depend a lot on overall condition of the car body, interior and mechanical systems.

Any 'battery' rebuilder will just swap your battery for one of their rebuilt batteries and call it a day. I doubt anyone will actually disassemble yours on site to just replace the harness and ecu. I wouldn't want to risk doing that work and then end up the battery has other issues. Although for $1200, I certainly would if someone insisted, with the understanding there may be other problems. $70 for a new harness from Toyota and $150 for a corrosion free ecu on ebay (or just use one of the dozen or so I have on the shelf). Maybe 2 hours of time. One hour to just do a battery swap. Good profit margin.
