I need a Brake Actuator now $2400 & a Hybrid Battery soon=Should I keep the Prius or get rid of it?

Yeah that might be an installed price or something that should be a $1,200 part or something like that new and all mine are used.

 

Is it rusty underneath? (Silly to put good components into a rust bucket.)
Is it in good shape other than these two items?

 

So they're charging you $1,200 to install the brake actuator bleed the brakes and hand you the car back wow that is pretty steep that only takes me like 2 hours 2.2 hours to do the change in about 35 minutes to bleed the brakes the way I take it apart I wouldn't want to do them all day long even for $1,200 a pop but still it's a pretty boring job.

 

Only you can decide to fix it or get rid of it. We do not know the overall condition and miles on the car. We do not know your finances or if you own a second car. ETC, ETC, ETC.

 

if it's been in Northeast winter salt, and is now 17 years old, and appears to need $5k+ in repairs in the near future? I would check out of that situation, time for a new ride.

But you need to decide for yourself.

 

FYI, the price of gen2 oem battery from dealer just went up this year. It used to be around 2k but now it’s 3k. The price increase is incredible!

 

FYI. The oem battery has gone up this year from 2k to 3k.

 

Is it? As always, one must shop for this part, and it is usually less to order it on line than to show up at the parts counter. These are all around $2k

The price on packs fluctuates with time. At the moment it seems to be only a couple of hundred higher than it was when I bought mine.
