I coundnt find the 1st Gen Prius forum so I posted here. I have a Prius hybrid battery pack that does not work, I replaced mine last fall. Does Toyota or someone buy cores? I live in Akron and the local dealers are in the dark about Toyota buy back programs. I appreciate your feedback. Joe

There is supposed to be a $200 bounty on the used pack so that Toyota gets it back for recycling. There should be more info in your owners manual, if you have it.
I called Toyota and was told in no way does a consumer get paid from Toyota. They only pay 3rd party recyclers the $200. Is this true or was this guy talking about someting he didnt know. He said I have to take it to the dealer, the dealers said they dont know what to do and dont want it because they have to pay $50 processing fee for it. Anyone know a recycler who'll buy it from me?, How about a Prius enthusiast/salvager/tinkerer? Ebay? I appreciate your feedback, Joe
The sticker is there but Toyota does not offer any consumer battery core refunds of any kind. Any other ideas anyone? Joe
