$151 Optima battery free shipping

Here is the additional $25.00 Rebate form.

 

JUST ORDERED MY OPTIMA FROM ADVANCED AUTO, USED THE BIG50 CODE.

WITH THIS ADDITIONAL $25 REBATE, IT WILL ONLY COST ME $125

WHAT A GREAT DEAL!!!:cheer2:

 

Just ordered mine! Thanks OP!

Does anyone know if a wiring/harness kit for this is needed to be installed into a 2005 Pri? The site said its a direct fit but I remember reading somewhere that a kit was needed to replace the OEM wiring. Anyone know?

 

FU! Dar Cars Frederick MD. They wanted $255 + tax or $267.00. And don't worry I will tell them right to their face. They did the same thing with the bulbs. That got resolved via the class action suit.
Advance $160.05 delivered to MD - $25 Rebate or $135. Still to much for a battery. But what is a tree hugger to do. The local battery guy said he might have a Miata sized battery that would work but I don't have the inclination to deterimine if it is safe. I survived the 70's I don't need to go down on battery fumes in the cabin. I did just recently read a blog how the Prius has a larger carbon footprint to produce and run vs a Hummer. Interesting article probably true. who knows.
Any way thanks to the OP for the BIG50

 

Just as a heads up.
There are a couple of different coupon options available. One for $30 coupon + $50 gift card AP20.
**OR**
the $50 instant coupon BIG50.
Plus there is a friend reffered me for $10.

So poke around before you pull the trigger.

 

Hmmm...

They seem to be out of stock online and don't honor online coupons in store.

 

Yeah, I just discovered that too. Only quantity of '0' is valid. Maybe they will get some more in soon, hope the $50 off continues for a while!

 

..just discovered the BIG50 promo code is good til 4/30. Should give them time to get more in stock. And the $25 rebate good thru then also!

 

..I found the exp date on one of those 'promo code' search sites. Some list them, some don't. I also just ordered the battery, back in stock online!
I had a little chat last night online with an Advance auto 'chat' guy, was like talking to the wall, not much help, all he could tell me is they were out of stock. Anyway go get em while they're hot!

 

Update on the battery order... just received an order cancellation email from Advance Auto. I called and it seems there are only 2 in the "online" warehouse and 72 orders. Meaning there will be another 69 cancellation emails going out. The bad part is, there are plenty of them in the warehouses for the stores, but they will not ship online orders from those warehouses, I tried. he did say the store managers have authority to honor online discounts at their discretion. None of my stores have any in stock, so it would have to be ordered. I guess i will try that and see what happens. He also checked on the expiration of the 'BIG50' code, and said it expires in December. Not sure on that one but that's what he said. Anyway, back on the hunt for my battery... BTW, he said the item is not discontinued so should be restocked, just doesn't know when.

 

Update again.. I went to my local Advance Auto store this morning with the printouts of my order and cancellation. Talked to the store manager and he gave me the same deal with the $50 off. they have to order it, but no hurry here. They are still making a 'slim' profit on it, so thay agreed to the deal. I assume they will be back in stock online before too long, but figured I'd just get it done now. So if you follow this route, I'd print out the checkout page from web site to take with you.

Thanks all..

 

I ordered the DS46B24R from Advance Auto 2 days ago and was happy that both the VISA50 and the BIG50 codes were acceptable and I printed the Optima $25 rebate. I'm all happy and was ready to install it on Saturday... Yesterday I got an AAP email saying battery shipped with a UPS tracking #. Me = happy. Today I got an email "This email confirms that you returned the item(s) shown below. A credit for $149.99 has been applied to your VISA". Crap-ski.

I just called and spoke with a nice AAP rep who placed a new order thru her system, she confirmed the warehouuse had 'plenty' and even asked a manager to OK UPS 2 day shipping as a courtesy.

We have no AAP retail stores here. So my fingers are crossed and my Saturday is dedicated to the install hopefully.

Oh and thanks a ton to OP "cnschult" for this great time to jump on discount and rebate!

 

Today UPS delivered the Optima battery which has a 5/12 sticker and a 12.64v charge. Poorly packaged, UPS driver said "I dont what this is but you might complain at how poorly this is boxed". It was the raw battery sliding around in a thin cardboard, oversized box with one bubble-pack.

Anyway, I'm glad to have the Optima at a great price. If anyone else has their order canceled from AAP, you might try the 'call a rep' route.

 

My Optima from AAP was also in a crappy box. My UPS driver said he noted the poor packaging of the box before he brought it too my door. I guess it was a CYA on his part. Worked fine. Mine was $142 after rebate, $50 off and $8 discover bonus cash back.

 

Gear oil is typically 85 or 90 weight. That is much heavier than the other products that are "lying around". Hence you should expect that if you use these other products your lawnmower wheel gears will either require more frequent lubrication or will wear faster than normal.
