    it's usually cheaper to buy the prolong kit than to pay someone to do it

    Interesting. I haven’t heard of this kit yet. Do a lot of Prius owners go this route?

    Assuming the rest of the car decent, at 68K I think I would just put a new Toyota HV battery in it. Olathe Toyota has had some of the most cost competitive pricing on new HV batteries FWIW.

    At that low miles I would swap in a New pack and move on. You'll have it long enough to spread the cost over many, many years.
