    Did not make a deal today...CarMax might be good option...
    can get new RAV4 in Laurel Md and their haggle free price looks good, and I am under the impression buying in MD saves about $500 bucks in dealer fees that we pay in Virginia...also put a email into Sam at Miller Toyota, now that we have some direction. Big thing is my wife bought into RAV4 idea ..we drove it a little bit.

    PS- I did send a note to PriusHybridRepair.com...I see they quote $750 to fix or replace Gen2 batt which is not bad...not sure if they have purchase interest... but I asked.

    Ok you can always try to ask green bean or green tech if u need to

    I heard they fix inverter pumps now
    It was 650 as two weeks ago I believe I think all their prices were moved up to 100 which isn’t bad stilll

    750 is cheap maybe I should use them sometime let me know what happens buddy.

    PriusHybridRepair quotes giving $500 for old vehicle for them to buy it. The repair cost he said is $795 but more for distance if they had to come to NoVA to fix it. Then he has $25/month insurance to cover future inverter or inv water pump or HV batt fixes.

    So what did you do to your charging system? What wire did you replace? Have you had the 12v battery tested?

    You have a hybrid battery pack deterioration code, a replace the HV battery code and 3 individual block becomes weak codes. witw? Sounds almost like a HV battery ecu issue or you drained the battery.

    Car Update-
    Bought the RAV4Hybrid LE with Blind Spot Monitor addon from ToyotaSam at Miller.

    They said our nice white Prius with bad batt was essentially worthless to them.
    So the HV battery fixer-up place above said they would give me $500, so I kept it to sell it or donate it.
    Funny with the bad HV Batt it still drives pretty well...the HV battery does still try to work to give some power.
    Good thing too. due to 40-minute trip to dealer, and now I got to go back and drive it back home.

    If you read this thread you would know who Sam is.

    Would it be possible that you stop spamming and hijacking other people's threads? It is not necessary to repeat what you have said in other threads.

    What interest do you have in the places you seem very intent on advertising on various threads here on PC?

    I saved $2000 compared to my local dealer buying from him.. Well worth the 150 mile drive for me.

    I've considered ignoring this person, but the comments and questions are usually so bizarre that they're actually kind of entertaining. Almost Monty Pythonish. ;)
