    I guess the price of salvage batteries will start to rise, now that 2G vehicles are aging and demand is picking up.

    Actually even re-involt is a tad behind but not alot. They told me that they could have my battery shipped out middle of next week. :rockon: never thought paying $2000 instead of $3000 would feel like a victory haha

    For a 2006, I would pay the extra $1000 for the BRAND NEW battery.

    About the wait list, due to the earthquake damage, any battery in stock at the factory would have been used for manufacturing instead, so warranty/repair service is going to be affected as you are. When I brought this up in one of the "buy the Prius now" threads, the responding attacks were immediate.

    Well actually the battery was right at $1600 shipped. I am just going to pay the dealer to put it in for me so that I know it is done right. I do have to say though that the guys at re-involt have been really helpful. I will let you guys know how the battery works out and if I notice and MPG increase. I will need to sell my old battery though. Im sure someone will buy it. Only one cell is bad.

    Just an update. I got the battery from re-involt put in yesterday and it works GREAT!!! I highly recommend this company to anyone in the need of a battery. Very fast and friendly service. The mechanics at the dealership were really impressed with the quality of the battery and packaging. Before the change I was getting about 46mpg average and now I am getting about 52....
